2 Samuel 20:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ And they came and besieged Sheba in Abel of Beth-maacah, and they cast up a siege mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the men with Joab battered and undermined the wall to make it fall.

¹⁶ Then a wise woman of the city cried, Hear, hear! Say to Joab, Come here so I can speak to you.

¹⁷ And when he came near her, the woman said, Are you Joab? He answered, I am. Then she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. He answered, I am listening.
