2 Samuel 20:14-16

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁴ Sheba travelled through the land of all Israel's tribes. He arrived at Abel Beth Maakah.^[a] All the people of Bicri's clan also came to the city. They joined Sheba there. ¹⁵ Then Joab's soldiers arrived and they started to attack Abel Beth Maakah. They made their camp all around the city. They built heaps of earth against the city's walls. They started to dig holes through the walls to cause them to fall down. ¹⁶ Then a wise woman stood on the wall and she shouted to them, ‘Listen! Listen to me! Tell Joab to come near so that I can speak to him!’
