¹⁶ But a wise woman in the city called out to Joab, “Listen to me, Joab. Come over here so I can talk to you.”

¹⁷ As he approached, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?”

And he replied, “I am.”

¹⁸ So she told him, “There used to be a saying, ‘If you want to settle an argument, ask advice at Abel.’ For we always give wise counsel.
