21 The matter [is] not so; for a man of the hill-country of Ephraim—Sheba son of Bichri [is] his name—has lifted up his hand against the king, against David; give him up by himself, and I go away from the city.” And the woman says to Joab, “Behold, his head is cast to you over the wall.” 22 And the woman comes to all the people in her wisdom, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast [it] to Joab, and he blows with a horn, and they are scattered from the city, each [goes] to his tents, and Joab has turned back to Jerusalem to the king. 23 And Joab [is] over all the host of Israel, and Benaiah son of Jehoiada [is] over the Cherethite, and over the Pelethite, 24 and Adoram [is] over the tribute, and Jehoshaphat son of Ahilud [is] the remembrancer, 25 and Sheva [is] scribe, and Zadok and Abiathar [are] priests, 26 and also, Ira the Jairite has been minister to David. 2 Samuel 20:21-26, Literal Standard Version.
