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.

The matter {H1697} is not so: but a man {H376} of mount {H2022} Ephraim {H669}, Sheba {H7652} the son {H1121} of Bichri {H1075} by name {H8034}, hath lifted up {H5375} his hand {H3027} against the king {H4428}, even against David {H1732}: deliver {H5414} him only, and I will depart {H3212} from the city {H5892}. And the woman {H802} said {H559} unto Joab {H3097}, Behold, his head {H7218} shall be thrown {H7993} to thee over {H1157} the wall {H2346}.

That's not how it is. Rather, a man from the hills of Efrayim, Sheva the son of Bikhri, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Just turn him over to me, and I will leave the city." The woman said to Yo'av, "All right, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

That is not the case. But a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him alone, and I will depart from the city.” “Look,” the woman replied, “his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”

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.
