Tsy izany tsy akory; fa misy lehilahy avy amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima, Seba no anarany, zanak'i Bikry, izay efa nanainga tanana hikomy amin'i Davida mpanjaka; koa izy ihany no atolory ahy, dia hiala amin'ny tanàna aho. Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin'i Joaba: Indro, ny lohany atsipy eny aminao eny ankoatry ny manda.
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.
