2 Samuel 20:16-22

20:16

Then cried
<07121> (8799)

a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>

out of the city
<05892>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

hear
<08085> (8798)_;

say
<0559> (8798)_,

I pray you, unto Joab
<03097>_,

Come near
<07126> (8798)

hither, that I may speak
<01696> (8762)

with thee.

20:17

And when he was come near
<07126> (8799)

unto her, the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou Joab
<03097>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am he]. Then she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of thine handmaid
<0519>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I do hear
<08085> (8802)_.

20:18

Then she spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They were wont
<01696> (8763)

to speak
<01696> (8762)

in old time
<07223>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They shall surely
<07592> (8800)

ask
<07592> (8762)

[counsel] at Abel
<059>_:

and so they ended
<08552> (8689)

[the matter]. {They were...: or, They plainly spoke in the beginning, saying, Surely they will ask of Abel, and so make and end}

20:19

I [am one of them that are] peaceable
<07999> (8803)

[and] faithful
<0539> (8803)

in Israel
<03478>_:

thou seekest
<01245> (8764)

to destroy
<04191> (8687)

a city
<05892>

and a mother
<0517>

in Israel
<03478>_:

why wilt thou swallow up
<01104> (8762)

the inheritance
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

20:20

And Joab
<03097>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Far be it
<02486>_,

far be it
<02486>

from me, that I should swallow up
<01104> (8762)

or destroy
<07843> (8686)_.

20:21

The matter
<01697>

[is] not so: but a man
<0376>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>

by name
<08034>_,

hath lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

against the king
<04428>_,

[even] against David
<01732>_:

deliver
<05414> (8798)

him only, and I will depart
<03212> (8799)

from the city
<05892>_.

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Behold, his head
<07218>

shall be thrown
<07993> (8716)

to thee over
<01157>

the wall
<02346>_.

{by name: Heb. by his name}

20:22

Then the woman
<0802>

went
<0935> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>

in her wisdom
<02451>_.

And they cut off
<03772> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[it] out to Joab
<03097>_.

And he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_,

and they retired
<06327> (8799)

from the city
<05892>_,

every man
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

And Joab
<03097>

returned
<07725> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the king
<04428>_.

{retired: Heb. were scattered}
