2 Samuel 20:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ All of the men who had accompanied Joab arrived and besieged Sheba in Abel of Beth-maacah. They threw up a siege ramp against the city rampart and began to batter the wall to demolish it. ¹⁶ Just then a wise woman called out from the city. “Attention!” she said, “Go tell Joab ‘Come here! I want to talk to you!’” ¹⁷ Joab came over and the woman asked him, “Are you Joab?”

“I am,” he answered.

So she told him, “Listen to what your servant has to say!”

“I’m listening,” he replied.
