2 Samuel 20:20-22

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁰ Joab protested: ‘Never! I would never devour or demolish! ²¹ That is not the case. There is a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, who has rebelled against King David. Deliver this one man, and I will withdraw from the city.’

The woman replied to Joab, ‘Watch! His head will be thrown over the wall to you.’ ²² The woman went to all the people with her wise counsel,^(A) and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the ram’s horn, and they dispersed from the city, each to his own tent. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
