19
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?
21
The matter is not so: but a man of mountEphraim,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 womansaid unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22
Then the womanwent 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 Joabreturned to Jerusalem unto the king.
