2 Samuel 20:17-19

The Voice

Woman: Are you Joab?

Joab: Yes, I am.

Woman: I, your servant, have something to tell you.

Joab: All right. I am listening.

Woman: ¹⁸ In the old days, people used to say, “Let’s ask for guidance at Abel,” and there they would resolve their differences. ¹⁹ I am one of the many in Israel who are faithful and peaceful. Why would you destroy a city that has been a mother to Israel? Why would you knock down what the Eternal One has built?
