2 Samuel 20:14-18

14who wentH935 through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to AbelH59, and to Beth-Maacah, and all the Berim; and they gathered together, and wentH935 alsoH637 after him.

15And they cameH935 and besieged him in Abel-Beth-Maacah, and they castH5307 up a bank against the cityH5892, and it was raised in the trench; and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 sapped the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307.

16And a wiseH2450 womanH802 cried 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 to her; and the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he saidH559, I [am he]. And she saidH559 to him, ListenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of thy handmaid. And he saidH559, I am listeningH8085.

18And she spokeH1696 sayingH559, They were wont to speakH1696 in old timeH7223 sayingH559, Just inquire in AbelH59; and so they endedH8552.
