• Eccl 9:13-18 : 13 I also saw this example of wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me. 14 There was a small city with a few men in it, and a great king came against it, surrounded it, and built large siegeworks around it. 15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he saved the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man. 16 So I said, 'Wisdom is better than strength.' But the wisdom of the poor man is despised, and his words are not heeded. 17 The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded than the shouts of a ruler among fools. 18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

They thought, "David cannot get in here." 7 But David captured the stronghold of Zion, which is now the City of David. 8 On that day, David said, "Whoever strikes the Jebusites should attack via the water shaft to reach the lame and the blind, who are despised by David." Because of this, it is said, "The blind and the lame will not enter the house." 9 David took up residence in the stronghold and named it the City of David.

"I am," he replied. She said, "Listen to what your servant has to say." "I’m listening," he said. 18 She continued, "In the past, people said, 'Seek advice in Abel,' and that is how matters were settled. 19 I am one of the peaceful and faithful in Israel. You are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to devour the LORD's inheritance?" 20 Joab replied, "Far be it from me to devour or destroy the city! 21 That is not the case. A man named Sheba, son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has raised his hand against King David. Hand him over, and I will withdraw from the city." The woman said to Joab, "His head will be thrown to you from the wall." 22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. He blew the horn, and the troops dispersed from the city, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to the king in Jerusalem.
