Joabhad a dagger strapped around his waist over his military uniform, but it fell out as he started toward Amasa.
9 Joabsaid, "Amasa, my cousin, how are you?" Then Joabtook hold of Amasa’s beard with his right hand, so that he could greet him with a kiss. 10 Amasadid not see the dagger in Joab’s other hand.

Joaband his brother Abishaiwent off to chase Sheba. 11 One of Joab’s soldiers stood by Amasa and shouted, "If any of you are for Joaband David, then follow Joab!"
12 Amasawas still rolling in his own blood in the middle of the road. The soldier who had shouted noticed that everyone who passed by would stop, so he dragged Amasaoff the road and covered him with a blanket. 13 After this, no one else stopped. They all walked straight past him on their way to help Joabcapture Sheba.
Sheba Hides Out in the Town of Abel
14 Sheba had gone through all of the tribes of Israel when he came to the town of AbelBeth-Maacah.

15 Joaband his troops came and surrounded Abel, so that no one could go in or come out. They made a dirt ramp up to the town wall and then started to use a battering ram to knock the wall down.
A Wise Woman Saves the Town
16 A wise woman shouted from the top of the wall,20.16 the top of the wall: Or "the town.""Listen to me! Listen to me! I have to talk to Joab! Tell him to come here!" 17 When he came, the woman said, "Are you Joab?"
"Yes, I am," he answered.
She said, "Please, listen to what I have to say."
"All right," he said. "I’ll listen."
18 She said, "Long ago people used to say, ‘If you want good advice, go to the town of Abelto get it.’ The answers they got here were all that was needed to settle any problem. 19 We are Israelites, and we want peace! You can trust us. Why are you trying to destroy a town that’s like a mother in Israel? Why do you want to wipe out the Lord's people?"
20 Joabanswered, "No, no! I’m not trying to wipe you out or destroy your town! 21 That’s not it at all. There’s a man in your town from the hill country of Ephraim. His name is Sheba, and he is the leader of a rebellion against King David. Turn him over to me, and we will leave your town alone."
The woman told Joab, "We will throw his head over the wall."
22 She went to the people of the town and talked them into doing it. They cut off Sheba’s head and threw it to Joab.
Joabblew a signal on his trumpet, and the soldiers returned to their homes. Joabwent back to David in Jerusalem.
