The Bible has a story of a man wanted by the king, David, who fled to a walled city. The army surrounded the city and basically said, send out the man and we'll leave. After a few hours, his head flew over the wall. The Army commander identified the head and they left..............

These Bible stories always leave me with this warm and fuzzy feeling.

2Sam.20.20-2Sam.20.22 I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?"

And Joab answered and said, "Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy! That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

Then the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a trumpet, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. So Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.
