Shmuel Bais 20:18-20

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁸ Then she spoke, saying, They used to speak in rishonah (old times), saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel; and so they settled the matter.

¹⁹ I am one of them that are of shalom and of emunah in Yisroel; thou seekest to destroy an Ir and an em b’Yisroel; why wilt thou swallow up the nachalat Hashem?

²⁰ And Yoav answered and said, Chalilah (far be it), chalilah from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
