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.”
