2 Samuel 14:16

For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

Joab arranged for the woman of Tekoa to come before David to plead for reconciliation between David and his banished son Absalom. In her appeal she asked the king for protection, seeking deliverance for herself and her son from the one who would destroy them. Her pleading moved David to send for Absalom and bring him back from banishment. That intercession by Joab helped make possible the rebellion that followed.
