2 Samuel 20:18-20

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁸ and she speaketh, saying, `They spake often in former times, saying, Let them diligently ask at Abel, and so they finished.

¹⁹ I [am] of the peaceable -- faithful ones of Israel; thou art seeking to destroy a city, and a mother in Israel; why dost thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?

²⁰ And Joab answereth and saith, `Far be it -- far be it from me; I do not swallow up nor destroy.
