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.

12 For wisdom is for a protection*+ [the same as] money is for a protection;+ but the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom itself preserves alive its owners.+
