Context14:19 The king said, “Did Joab put you up to all of this?” 2 The woman answered, “As surely as you live, my lord the king, there is no deviation to the right or to the left from all that my lord the king has said. For your servant Joab gave me instructions. He has put all these words in your servant’s mouth.

Give me just this one man, and I will leave the city.” The woman said to Joab, “This very minute 4 his head will be thrown over the wall to you!”
20:22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice and they cut off Sheba’s head and threw it out to Joab. Joab 5 blew the trumpet, and his men 6 dispersed from the city, each going to his own home. 7 Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
