Biblical Text: 2 Samuel 20
I selected this story because I had never heard of this story in the Bible until earlier this month. Like a whole head?!!!

My limited summary: There was a man named Sheba who stated he wanted nothing to do with King David. King David heard about this and wanted to take care of Sheba quickly before he became an issue.
King David initially sent Amasa to take care of Sheba, but Amasa was stabbed and killed by Joab.
Instead, Joab and his army pursued Sheba and learned he was in Abel of Beth – Maachah.
Before Joab and his army entered the city, a wise old woman stopped them and asked how could she help.
Joab told her release Sheba and we will leave. The wise women gathered the people in her city together, they beheaded Sheba and threw his head over the wall to Joab.
Joab kept his word to the wise women and left and returned to Jerusalem to give the head to King David.
