Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed,because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and His name is holy.His mercy is from generation to generation on those who fear Him.He has done a mighty deed with His arm; He has scattered the proud because of the thoughts of their hearts;He has toppled the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly.He has satisfied the hungry with good things and sent the rich away empty.He has helped His servant Israel, mindful of His mercy,just as He spoke to our ancestors, to Abraham and his descendants forever.And Mary stayed with her about three months; then she returned to her home.

Please tell Joab to come here and let me speak with him.”When he had come near her, the woman asked,“ Are you Joab?”“ I am,” he replied.“ Listen to the words of your servant,” she said to him. He answered,“ I’m listening.”She said,“ In the past they used to say,‘ Seek counsel in Abel,’ and that’s how they settled disputes.I am a peaceful person, one of the faithful in Israel, but you’re trying to destroy a city that is like a mother in Israel. Why would you devour the Lord’s inheritance?”Joab protested:“ Never! I do not want to destroy!That is not my intention. There is a man named Sheba son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim, who has rebelled against King David. Deliver this one man, and I will withdraw from the city.” The woman replied to Joab,“ All right. His head will be thrown over the wall to you.”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. So he blew the ram’s horn, and they dispersed from the city, each to his own tent. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.

She fell at his feet and said,“ The guilt is mine, my lord, but please let your servant speak to you directly. Listen to the words of your servant.My lord should pay no attention to this worthless man Nabal, for he lives up to his name: His name is Nabal, and stupidity is all he knows. I, your servant, didn’t see my lord’s young men whom you sent.Now my lord, as surely as the Lord lives and as you yourself live, it is the Lord who kept you from participating in bloodshed and avenging yourself by your own hand. May your enemies and those who want trouble for my lord be like Nabal.Accept this gift your servant has brought to my lord, and let it be given to the young men who follow my lord.Please forgive your servant’s offense, for the Lord is certain to make a lasting dynasty for my lord because he fights the Lord’s battles. Throughout your life, may evil not be found in you.“ When someone pursues you and attempts to take your life, my lord’s life will be tucked safely in the place where the Lord your God protects the living. However, He will fling away your enemies’ lives like stones from a sling.When the Lord does for my lord all the good He promised and appoints you ruler over Israel,there will not be remorse or a troubled conscience for my lord because of needless bloodshed or my lord’s revenge. And when the Lord does good things for my lord, may you remember me your servant.”

Let it revoke the documents the scheming Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.For how could I bear to see the disaster that would come on my people? How could I bear to see the destruction of my relatives?”

My wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched.Say this to the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of the Lord: This is what the Lord God of Israel says: As for the words that you heard,because your heart was tender and you humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard what I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and because you have torn your clothes and wept before Me, I Myself have heard you— this is the Lord’s declaration—therefore, I will indeed gather you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your grave in peace. Your eyes will not see all the disaster that I am bringing on this place.’” Then they reported to the king.
