2 Samuel 20:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ So Joab and his men came to Abel Beth Maacah and surrounded it. They piled dirt up against the city wall, and they began hacking at the walls to bring them down.

¹⁶ But a wise woman shouted out from the city, “Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come here. I want to talk to him!”

¹⁷ So Joab came near her. She asked him, “Are you Joab?”

He answered, “Yes, I am.”

Then she said, “Listen to what I say.”

Joab said, “I’m listening.”
