2 Samuel 20:21
The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
KJV
Non sic se habet res, sed homo de monte Ephraim, Seba filius Bochri cognomine, levavit manum suam contra regem David : tradite illum solum, et recedemus a civitate. Et ait mulier ad Joab : Ecce caput ejus mittetur ad te per murum.
Vulgate
οὐχ οὗτος ὁ λόγος· ὅτι ἀνὴρ ἐξ ὄρους Ἐφράιμ, Σάβεε υἱὸς Βοχορεὶ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπῆρεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν βασιλέα Δαυείδ. δότε αὐτόν μοι μόνον, καὶ ἀπελεύσομαι ἀπάνωθεν τῆς πόλεως. καὶ εἶπεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς Ἰωάβ Ἰδοὺ ἡ κεφαλὴ αὐτοῦ ῥιφήσεται πρὸς σὲ διὰ τοῦ τείχους.
LXX
The matter is not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David; deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
