2 Samuel 20:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
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?
20 E Joabe respondeu, dizendo: Nunca tal, nunca tal me aconteça, que eu destrua nem desfaça.
21 A coisa não é assim: mas um homem do monte de Efraim, que se chama Seba filho de Bicri, levantou sua mão contra o rei Davi: entregai a esse somente, e me irei da cidade. E a mulher disse a Joabe: Eis que sua cabeça te será lançada desde o muro.
22 A mulher foi logo a todo aquele povo com sua sabedoria; e eles cortaram a cabeça a Seba filho de Bicri, e lançaram-na a Joabe. E ele tocou a trombeta, e dispersaram-se da cidade, cada um à sua morada. E Joabe se voltou ao rei a Jerusalém.
23 Assim ficou Joabe sobre todo aquele exército de Israel; e Benaia filho de Joiada sobre os quereteus e peleteus;
