Contextual Overview
1 And Joab, son of Zeruiah, perceived that the heart of the king was towards Absolom. 2 So Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched from thence, a wise woman, - and said unto her - I pray thee, feign thyself a mourner, and put on, I pray thee, mourning apparel, and do not anoint thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath, these many days, been mourning for the dead; 3 so shalt thou come in unto the king, and speak unto him, after this manner. And Joab put the words in her mouth. 4 And, when the woman of Tekoa came in unto the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did homage, - and said - Save, O king! 5 And the king said to her - What aileth thee? And she said - Of a truth, a widow woman, am I, for my husband is dead. 6 Now, thy maidservant, had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, with none to tear them apart, - so the one smote the other, and slew him. 7 Lo! therefore, all the family hath risen up against thy maidservant, and have said: Give up him that hath smitten his brother, that we may put him to death, for the life of his brother, whom he hath slain, that we may destroy, the heir also. So will they quench my ember that is left, and make my husband without name or remainder, on the face of the ground. 8 And the king said unto the woman - Go to thy house, and, I, will give command concerning thee. 9 Then said the woman of Tekoa unto the king, Upon me, my lord, O king, be the iniquity, and upon the house of my father, - but, the king and his throne, be guiltless. 10 And the king said, - He that speaketh unto thee, bring him in unto me, and he shall, no more, annoy thee.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And come to the king,.... At his palace, in the above condition and circumstances:
and speak on this manner unto him; something to the following purpose he dictated to her:
so Joab put the words in her mouth; the substance of what she should say; the fable she was to deliver as her own case might be framed by Joab, and which she delivered word for word exactly as he put it, and the application of it; but as he knew not what questions the king would ask her, so he could not dictate to her what to reply, unless he supposed this and the other, and so formed answers; but this he left to her prudence, and for the sake of which he chose a wise woman to manage this affair.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Come to the king - The king as a judge was accessible to all his subjects (2 Samuel 15:2; compare 1 Kings 3:16).
