Proverbs 21:22 Cross References - MSTC

²² A wise man winneth the city of the mighty; and as for the strength that they trust in, he bringeth it down.

⁶ Then went the king and his men to Jerusalem, unto the Jebusites the inhabiters of the land. And they said unto David, "Except thou take away the blind and the lame thou shalt not come in hither" — meaning thereby that David should not have come in thither. ⁷ Nevertheless David took the hold of Zion, which is in the city of David. ⁸ Then said David the same day, "Whosoever smiteth the Jebusites, and getteth up to the gutters of the houses: smite the lame and the blind that hate David's soul." Wherefore they said, "The blind and the lame shall not come into the house." ⁹ And David dwelt in the tower and called it the city of David. And David built round about it from Mello inward.

¹⁶ Then cried a wise woman out of the city, "Hear! Hear! Bid, I pray you, Joab that he come hither, that I may speak with him." ¹⁷ When Joab was come the woman said, "Art thou Joab?" And Joab answered, "That am I." And she said to him, "Hear the words of thy handmaid." And he said, "I am ready to hear." ¹⁸ And she said, "It hath been a common saying in the old time: 'Men must ask of Abel, and then go and finish the work.' ¹⁹ Abel is one of the quietest and faithfullest cities that are in Israel. And thou goest about to destroy a city that is as a mother in Israel. Why devourest thou the inheritance of the LORD?" ²⁰ And Joab answered and said, "God forbid! God forbid it me, that I should either devour or destroy it. ²¹ The matter is not so: But there is a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, which hath lifted up his hand against king David. Deliver us him only, and I will depart from the city." And the woman said unto Joab, "Behold, his head shall be thrown through the wall to thee." ²² And then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they smote off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and cast it to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they scattered from the city every man to his tent, and Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

⁵ A wise man is strong; yea, a man of understanding is better than he that is mighty of strength.

¹⁹ Wisdom giveth more courage unto the wise, than ten mighty men of the city.

¹³ This wisdom have I seen also under the Sun, and me thought it a great thing. ¹⁴ There was a little city, and a few men within it: so there came a great king and besieged it, and made great bulwarks against it. ¹⁵ And in the city there was found a poor man - but he was wise - which with his wisdom delivered the city: yet was there no body, that had any respect for such a simple man. ¹⁶ Then said I, "Wisdom is better than strength." Nevertheless, a simple man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard. ¹⁷ A wise man's counsel that is followed in silence, is far above the crying of a captain among fools. ¹⁸ For wisdom is better than harness: but one unthrifty alone destroyeth much good.
