Proverbs 21:22 Cross References - LXX2012

²² A wise man assaults strong cities, and demolishes the fortress in which the ungodly trusted.

⁶ And David and his men, departed to Jerusalem, to the Jebusite that inhabited the land: and it was said to David, You shall not come in hither: for the blind and the lame withstood him, saying, David shall not come in hither. ⁷ And David took first the hold of Sion: this [is] the city of David. ⁸ And David said on that day, Every one that smites the Jebusite, let him attack with the dagger both the lame and the blind, and those that hate the soul of David. Therefore they say, The lame and the blind shall not enter into the house of the Lord. ⁹ And David lived in the hold, and it was called the city of David, and he built the city itself round about from the citadel, and [he built] his own house.

¹⁶ And a wise woman cried from the wall, and said, Hear, hear; say, I pray you⌃, to Joab, Draw near hither, and I will speak to him. ¹⁷ And he drew near to her, and the woman said to him, Are you Joab? and he said, I [am]. And she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid; and Joab said, I do hear. ¹⁸ And she spoke, saying, Of old time they said thus, Surely one was asked in Abel, and Dan, whether the faithful in Israel failed in what they purposed; they will surely ask in Abel, even in like manner, whether they have failed. ¹⁹ I am a peaceful one of the strong ones in Israel; but you seek to destroy a city and a mother city in Israel: why do you seek to ruin the inheritance of the Lord? ²⁰ And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should ruin or destroy. ²¹ Is not the case thus, that a man of mount Ephraim, Sabee, son of Bochori by name, has even lifted up his hand against king David? Give him only to me, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall. ²² And the woman went in to all the people, and she spoke to all the city in her wisdom; and they took off the head of Sabee the son of Bochori; and took it away and threw it to Joab: and he blew the trumpet, and the people separated from the city away from him, every man to his tent: and Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.

⁵ A wise man is better than a strong man; and a man who has prudence than a large estate.

¹⁹ It is well for you to hold fast by this; also by this defile not your hand: for to them that fear God all things shall come forth [well].

¹³ This I also saw [to be] wisdom under the sun, and it is great before me: ¹⁴ [suppose there were] a little city, and few men in it; and there should come against it a great king, and surround it, and build great mounds against it; ¹⁵ and should find in it a poor wise man, and he should save the city through his wisdom: yet no man would remember that poor man. ¹⁶ And I said Wisdom is better than power: yet the wisdom of the poor man is set at nothing, and his words not listened to. ¹⁷ The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly. ¹⁸ Wisdom is better than weapons of war: and one sinner will destroy much good.
