In context — 2 Samuel 20:21
The matter is not so. For a man from the hill country of Ephraim, named Sheba son of Bichri, has lifted his hand against the king, against David. “Hand him over alone, and I will withdraw from the city.” The woman said to Joab, “Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall.”
