2 Samuel 20:17-19

Darby Translation

¹⁷ And he came near to her; and the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he said, I [am he]. And she said to him, Listen to the words of thy handmaid. And he said, I am listening.

¹⁸ And she spoke saying, They were wont to speak in old time saying, Just inquire in Abel; and so they ended.

¹⁹ I am peaceable [and] faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?
