2 Samuel 20:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Sheba went through all the Israelite tribes up to Abel of Beth-maacah. All the Bichrites^[a] assembled and followed Sheba in. ¹⁵ Then Joab’s men arrived and attacked Sheba at Abel of Beth-maacah. They piled up a ramp against the city, and it stood against the outer wall.^[b] All of Joab’s troops were hammering the wall, trying to bring it down.

¹⁶ Then a wise woman called from the city, “Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come over here, so I can talk to him.”
