2 Samuel 20:16-18

1599 Geneva Bible

¹⁶ Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear, I pray you, say unto Joab, Come thou hither, that I may speak with thee.

¹⁷ And when he came near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, Yea. And she said to him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.

¹⁸ Then she spake thus, ^[a]They spake in the old time, saying, They should ask of Abel: and so they have continued.
