Exegesis
Finally, the prepositional phrase bᵊ-pî šip̄ḥāteḵā {בְּפִי שִׁפְחָתְךָ | bᵊ-pî šip̄ḥāteḵā} “in the mouth of your servant” highlights Joab’s role as the message source.
In context — 2 Samuel 14:19
And the king said, “Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?” And the woman answered and said, “As surely as the soul of my lord the king lives, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything my lord the king has spoken, for your servant Joab commanded me and put all these words into the mouth of your maidservant .”
