2 Samuel 20:14-18

14And he wentH935 through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to Beth-maacah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and wentH935 alsoH637 after him. 15And they cameH935 and besieged him in AbelH59 of Beth-maacah, and they castH5307 up a mound against the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 against the rampartH2426; and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 battered the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307. 16Then cried a wiseH2450 womanH802 out of the cityH5892, HearH8085, hearH8085; sayH559, I pray you, unto JoabH3097, Come near hither, that I may speakH1696 with thee. 17And he came near unto her; and the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he answered, I am. Then she saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thy handmaid. And he answered, I do hearH8085. 18Then she spake, sayingH559, They were wont to speakH1696 in old timeH7223, sayingH559, They shall surely askH7592 counsel at AbelH59: and so they endedH8552 the matter.
