SCRIPTURE

"I am of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?" — 2 Samuel 20:19 (ASV)

I am one... — The woman speaks in the name of the whole city, which she means to say was peaceable and loyal.
