15 E vieram e cercaram-no em Abel de Bete-Maaca, e puseram baluarte contra a cidade; e posto que foi ao muro, todo aquele povo que estava com Joabe trabalhava por derrubar a muralha.
16 Então uma mulher sábia deu vozes na cidade, dizendo: Ouvi, ouvi; rogo-vos que digais a Joabe se chegue a aqui, para que eu fale com ele.
17 E quando ele se aproximou a ela, disse a mulher: És tu Joabe? E ele respondeu: Eu sou. E ela lhe disse: Ouve as palavras de tua serva. E ele respondeu: Ouço.
18 Então voltou ela a falar, dizendo: Antigamente costumavam falar, dizendo: Quem perguntar, pergunte em Abel: e assim concluíam.
19 Eu sou das pacíficas e fiéis de Israel: e tu procuras destruir uma cidade que é mãe de Israel: por que destróis a herança do SENHOR?
