To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Samuel. The woman of Tekoa applies her parable directly to David and questions why the king keeps his son in exile. David realizes that Joab is behind the strategy and finally authorizes Absalom’s return. The reconciliation, however, remains incomplete: Absalom returns to Jerusalem but for a time cannot appear before his father. The narrative distinguishes political restoration from personal restoration.

daß ich diese Sache also wenden sollte, das hat dein Knecht Joab gemacht. Aber mein Herr ist weise wie die Weisheit eines Engels Gottes, daß er merkt alles auf Erden.

C'est pour donner à la chose une autre tournure que ton serviteur Joab a fait cela. Mais mon seigneur est aussi sage qu'un ange de Dieu, pour connaître tout ce qui se passe sur la terre.
Ioab, tuo servitore, ha fatto questo per trasformare il negozio; ma il mio signore è savio come un angelo di Dio, per conoscer tutto quello che si fa in terra
Para mudar o aspecto deste caso foi que o teu servo Joabe fez isto; porém sábio é meu senhor, conforme à sabedoria de um anjo de Deus, para entender tudo o que há na terra.
