2 Samuel 20:19-21

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁹ I am one of the peaceful and faithful in Israel, but you’re trying to destroy a city that is like a mother in Israel. Why would you devour the Lord’s inheritance? ’

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.’
