But I, your maidservant, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent. 26 Now therefore, my lord, as the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, since the LORD has restrained you from coming to bloodshed and from avenging yourself with your own hand, now let your enemies and those who seek harm for my lord be as Nabal. 27 And now this blessing, which your maidservant has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who follow my lord. 28 Please forgive the trespass of your maidservant, for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord fights the battles of the LORD, and evil has not been found in you all your days. 29 Yet a man has risen to pursue you and seek your life; but the life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD your God; and the lives of your enemies, He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling. 30 And it shall come to pass, when the LORD has done for my lord according to all the good He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel, 31 that this will be no grief to you, nor a cause of remorse of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause or that my lord has avenged himself.

He answered, I am. Then she said, Listen to the words of your servant. And he answered, I am listening. 18 She continued, In former times, they used to say, Let them ask counsel at Abel; and so they resolved disputes. 19 I am one of the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD? 20 Joab answered, Far be it from me, far be it from me, to swallow up or destroy. 21 The matter is not so; but a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. The woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall. 22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice. They cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. He blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, each to his tent. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
