2 Samuel 20:16-22
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.1 19I am one of them that are peaceableH7999 and faithfulH539 in IsraelH3478: thou seekestH1245 to destroyH4191 a cityH5892 and a motherH517 in IsraelH3478: why wilt thou swallow upH1104 the inheritanceH5159 of YhwhH3068? 20And JoabH3097 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Far be itH2486, far be itH2486 from me, that I should swallow upH1104 or destroyH7843. 21The matterH1697 is not so: but a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 by nameH8034, hath lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against the kingH4428, even against DavidH1732: deliverH5414 him only, and I will departH3212 from the cityH5892. And the womanH802 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, Behold, his headH7218 shall be thrownH7993 to thee overH1157 the wallH2346.2 22Then the womanH802 wentH935 unto all the peopleH5971 in her wisdomH2451. And they cut offH3772 the headH7218 of ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, and castH7993 it out to JoabH3097. And he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and they retiredH6327 from the cityH5892, every manH376 to his tentH168. And JoabH3097 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 unto the kingH4428.3
