2 Samuel 20:21

20:21 That’s not the way things are. There is a man from the hill country of Ephraim named Sheba son of Bicri. He has rebelled ¹  against King David. Give me just this one man, and I will leave the city.” The woman said to Joab, “This very minute ²  his head will be thrown over the wall to you!”

2 Samuel 24:13

24:13 Gad went to David and told him, “Shall seven ³  years of famine come upon your land? Or shall you flee for three months from your enemy with him in hot pursuit? Or shall there be three days of plague in your land? Now decide ⁴  what I should tell the one who sent me.”

[20:21]  ¹ tn Heb “lifted his hand.”
