9 To this she said: “Without fail I shall go with you. Just the same, the beautifying thing will not become yours on the way that you are going, for it will be into the hand of a woman+ that Jehovah will sell* Sisʹe·ra.” With that Debʹo·rah got up and went with Baʹrak to Keʹdesh.+

21 Who was it that struck down A·bimʹe·lech+ the son of Je·rubʹbe·sheth?*+ Was it not a woman that pitched an upper millstone upon him+ from on top of the wall so that he died at Theʹbez?+ Why did YOU men have to go so close to the wall?’ you must also say, ‘Your servant U·riʹah the Hitʹtite died too.’”+

22 At once the woman went in her wisdom+ to all the people, and they proceeded to cut off the head of Sheʹba the son of Bichʹri and pitch it to Joʹab. Upon that he blew the horn,+ and so they were scattered from the city, each one to his home;* and Joʹab himself returned to Jerusalem to the king.
