In context
11They walked straight ahead through the ravine, and an Assyrian forward guard met her. 12They took hold of her and questioned her: “Whose are you? Where are you coming from?

I will show him, face to face, a road he can travel by and become master of the whole hill country, and not one of his men will be lost — not a body, not a breath of life.” 14When the men heard what she said and studied her face — and to them she was a marvel of beauty — they said to her: 15“You have saved your own life by coming down in a hurry to our lord’s presence.
