Then she
spake,
saying, They were
wont to
speak in old
time, saying, They shall
surely ask counsel at
Abel: and so they
ended the matter.

I am one of them that are
peaceable and
faithful in
Israel: thou
seekest to
destroy a
city and a
mother in
Israel: why wilt thou swallow
up the
inheritance of the
LORD?

And
Joab answered and

The
matter is not so: but a
man of
mount Ephraim, Sheba the
son of
Bichri by
name, hath lifted
up his
hand against the
king, even against
David: deliver him only, and I will
depart from the
city. And the
woman said unto
Joab, Behold, his
head shall be
thrown to thee
over the
wall.

Then the
woman went unto all the
people in her
wisdom. And they cut
off the
head of
Sheba the
son of
Bichri, and
cast it out to
Joab. And he
blew a
trumpet, and they
retired from the
city, every
man to his
tent. And
Joab returned to
Jerusalem unto the
king.
