2 Samuel 20:15-22

  15 H935 [H8799] And they came H6696 [H8799] and besieged H59 him in Abel H1038 of Bethmaachah, H8210 [H8799] and they cast up H5550 a bank H5892 against the city, H5975 [H8799] and it stood H2426 in the trench: H5971 and all the people H3097 that were with Joab H7843 [H8688] decayed H2346 the wall, H5307 [H8687] to throw it down.

  16 H7121 [H8799] Then called H2450 a wise H802 woman H5892 out of the city, H8085 [H8798] Hear, H8085 [H8798] hear; H559 [H8798] say, H3097 I pray you, to Joab, H7126 [H8798] Come H1696 [H8762] here, that I may speak with thee.

  17 H7126 [H8799] And when he was come near H802 to her, the woman H559 [H8799] said, H3097 Art thou Joab? H559 [H8799] And he answered, H559 [H8799] I am he. Then she said H8085 [H8798] to him, Hear H1697 the words H519 of thy handmaid. H559 [H8799] And he answered, H8085 [H8802] I do hear.

  18 H559 [H8799] Then she spoke, H559 [H8800] saying, H1696 [H8763] They were accustomed H1696 [H8762] to speak H7223 in old time, H559 [H8800] saying, H7592 [H8800] They shall surely H7592 [H8762] ask H59 counsel at Abel: H8552 [H8689] and so they ended the matter.

  19 H7999 [H8803] I am one of them that are peaceable H539 [H8803] and faithful H3478 in Israel: H1245 [H8764] thou seekest H4191 [H8687] to kill H5892 a city H517 and a mother H3478 in Israel: H1104 [H8762] why wilt thou swallow up H5159 the inheritance H3068 of the LORD?

  20 H3097 And Joab H6030 [H8799] answered H559 [H8799] and said, H2486 Far be it, H2486 far be it H1104 [H8762] from me, that I should swallow up H7843 [H8686] or decay.

  21 H1697 The matter H376 is not so: but a man H2022 of mount H669 Ephraim, H7652 Sheba H1121 the son H1075 of Bichri H8034 by name, H5375 [H8804] hath lifted up H3027 his hand H4428 against the king, H1732 even against David: H5414 [H8798] give H3212 [H8799] him only, and I will depart H5892 from the city. H802 And the woman H559 [H8799] said H3097 to Joab, H7218 Behold, his head H7993 [H8716] shall be thrown H1157 to thee over H2346 the wall.

  22 H802 Then the woman H935 [H8799] went H5971 to all the people H2451 in her wisdom. H3772 [H8799] And they cut off H7218 the head H7652 of Sheba H1121 the son H1075 of Bichri, H7993 [H8686] and cast H3097 it out to Joab. H8628 [H8799] And he blew H7782 a shofar, H6327 [H8799] and they retired H5892 from the city, H376 every man H168 to his tent. H3097 And Joab H7725 [H8804] returned H3389 to Jerusalem H4428 to the king.
