2 Samuel 20:14-18

14And he wentH5674 through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to Beth–maachahH1038, and all the BeritesH1276: and they were gathered togetherH7035H6950, and wentH935 also afterH310 him. 15And they cameH935 and besiegedH6696 him in AbelH59 of Beth–maachahH1038, and they cast upH8210 a bankH5550 against the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 in the trenchH2426: and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 batteredH7843 the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307.12

16Then criedH7121 a wiseH2450 womanH802 out of the cityH5892, HearH8085, hearH8085; sayH559, I pray you, unto JoabH3097, Come nearH7126 hither, that I may speakH1696 with thee. 17And when he was come nearH7126 unto her, the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he answeredH559, I am he. Then she saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH519. And he answeredH559, I do hearH8085. 18Then she spakeH559, sayingH559, They were wontH1696 to speakH1696 in old timeH7223, sayingH559, They shall surelyH7592 askH7592 counsel at AbelH59: and so they endedH8552 the matter.3
