2 Samuel 20:22
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
KJV
Ingressa est ergo ad omnem populum, et locuta est eis sapienter : qui abscissum caput Seba filii Bochri projecerunt ad Joab. Et ille cecinit tuba, et recesserunt ab urbe, unusquisque in tabernacula sua : Joab autem reversus est Jerusalem ad regem.
Vulgate
καὶ εἰσῆλθεν ἡ γυνὴ πρὸς πάντα τὸν λαόν, καὶ ἐλάλησεν πρὸς πᾶσαν τὴν πόλιν ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἀφεῖλεν τὴν κεφαλὴν Σάβεε υἱοῦ Βοχορεί, καὶ ἀφεῖλεν καὶ ἔβαλεν πρὸς Ἰωάβ. καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν κερατίνῃ, καὶ διεσπάρησαν ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα αὐτοῦ· καὶ Ἰωὰβ ἀπέστρεψεν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα.
LXX
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. And he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
