2 Samuel 20:14-18
14Now he wentH5674 throughH5674 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 to AbelH59, even Beth-maacahH1038, and allH3605 the BeritesH1276; and they were gatheredH6950 together and alsoH637 wentH935 afterH310 him.
15They cameH935 and besiegedH6696H5921 him in 1AbelH62 Beth-maacahH1038, and 2they 3castH8210 up a siegeH5550 rampH5550 againstH413 the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 by the rampartH2426; and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with JoabH3097 were wreakingH7843 destructionH7843 in order to toppleH5307 the wallH2346.
16Then 4a wiseH2450 womanH802 calledH7121 from the cityH5892, “HearH8085, hearH8085! PleaseH4994 tellH559 JoabH3097, ‘ComeH7126 hereH5704H2008 that I may speakH1696 with you.’”
17So he approachedH7126 her, and the womanH802 saidH559, “Are you JoabH3097?” And he answeredH559, “I am.” Then she saidH559 to him, “ListenH8085 to the wordsH1697 of your maidservantH519.” And he answeredH559, “I am listeningH8085.”
18Then she spokeH559, sayingH559, “FormerlyH7223 they used to sayH559, ‘They will surelyH7592 askH7592 advice at AbelH59,’ and thusH3651 they endedH8552 the dispute.
