Slik er det ikke: Men en mann fra Efraims fjelland, Sjeba, sønn av Bikri, har reist seg mot kongen, ja, mot David. Overgi ham alene, så vil jeg forlate byen. Kvinnen sa til Joab: Se, hans hode skal bli kastet ned til deg over muren.
The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
