I am indeed.It is very possible that the principal incidents mentioned here were real; and that Joab found out a person whose circumstances bore a near resemblance to that which he wished to represent.
She did not make the similitude too plain and visible, lest the king should see her intention before she had obtained a grant of pardon; and thus her circumstances, her mournful tale, her widow's dress, her aged person, (for Josephus says she was advanced in years,) and her impressive manner, all combined to make one united irresistible impression on the heart of the aged monarch.
2 Sam. 12:1‑3• 1And the Lord sent Nathan unto David. And he came unto him, and said unto him, There were two men in one city; the one rich, and the other poor.
 2The rich man had exceeding many flocks and herds:
 3But the poor man had nothing, save one little ewe lamb, which he had bought and nourished up: and it grew up together with him, and with his children; it did eat of his own meat, and drank of his own cup, and lay in his bosom, and was unto him as a daughter. (2 Sam. 12:1‑3)

Judg. 9:8‑15• 8The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
 9But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honor God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
 10And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us.
 11But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees?
 12Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us.
 13And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
 14Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us.
 15And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. (Judg. 9:8‑15)
