21 The matter is not so; but a man of mount Ephraim, Shamoa, the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against King David; deliver him alive to me and I will depart from the city. And the woman said to Joab, Now his head shall be thrown to you over the wall. 22 Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Shamoa, the son of Bichri, and threw it out over the wall to Joab. And Joab blew the trumpet, and they withdrew from the city and departed every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king. 23 Now Joab was in command of all the army of Israel; and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the freedmen and the laborers, 24 And Adoniram was in charge of the tribute, and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was the recorder, 25 And Sheriah was the scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests. 26 And also Aza of Jathir was a priest to David. 2 Samuel 20:21-26, Lamsa Bible.
