2 Samuel 20:13-22

13When he was removedH4480 outH4480 of the highwayH4546, allH3605 the peopleH376 wentH376 on afterH310 JoabH3097, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.

14And he wentH935 throughH5674 allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to Beth-maacahH1038, and allH3605 the BeritesH1276: and they were gathered together, and wentH935 also afterH310 him.

15And they cameH935 and besieged him in AbelH59 of Beth-maacahH1038, and they castH5307 upH5975 a mount againstH5921 the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 againstH5921 the rampartH2426: and allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 battered the wallH2346, to throwH8210 it downH5307.

16Then criedH7121 a wiseH2450 womanH802 outH4480 of the cityH5892, HearH8085, hearH8085; sayH559, I prayH4994 youH5704, unto JoabH3097, ComeH7126 nearH7126 hither, that I may speakH1696 with thee.

17And he cameH7126 nearH7126 unto herH413, and the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he answeredH559, I am. Then she saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH519. And he answeredH559, I doH589 hearH8085.

18Then sheH3651 spake, sayingH559, they were wont to speakH1696 in oldH7223 time, sayingH559, They shall surelyH3651 askH7592 counsel at AbelH59: and soH3651 they endedH8552 the matter.

19I am of them that are peaceable and faithfulH539 in IsraelH3478: thou seekest to destroyH4191 a cityH5892 and a motherH517 in IsraelH3478: whyH4100 wilt thou swallowH1104 upH1104 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?

20And JoabH3097 answeredH559 and saidH559, FarH2486 be it, farH2486 be it from meH2486, that I should swallowH1104 upH1104 or destroyH7843.

21The matterH1697 is notH3808 soH3651: but a manH376 of the hillH2022 countryH2022 of EphraimH669, ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 by nameH8034, hath liftedH5375 upH5375 his handH3027 againstH5921 the kingH4428, evenH3588 againstH5921 DavidH1732: deliverH5414 him onlyH905, and I will depart from the cityH5892. And the womanH802 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, BeholdH2009, his headH7218 shall be thrownH7993 to thee over the wallH2346.

22Then the womanH802 wentH935 unto allH3605 the peopleH5971 in herH3605 wisdomH2451. And they cutH3772 offH3772 the headH7218 of ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, and threwH7993 it outH5921 to JoabH3097. And he blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and they were dispersedH6327 from the cityH5892, everyH3605 manH376 to his tentH168. And JoabH3097 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 unto the kingH4428.
