Verse 3 is found in chapter 14 of 2 Samuel. Joab perceives that David wants to bring Absalom back and uses a woman from Tekoa to present the king with a fictional case involving two brothers and a threat of family revenge. David recognizes the injustice of the case and promises protection. The strategy causes the king to consider his own situation indirectly. The scene raises the tension between justice, mercy, and family responsibility: restoring Absalom does not automatically resolve the seriousness of his crime.
