2 Samuel 20:1-26

And there happened
<07122> (8738)

to be there a man
<0376>

of Belial
<01100>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Sheba
<07652>_,

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_,

a Benjamite
<01145>_:

and he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

We have no part
<02506>

in David
<01732>_,

neither have we inheritance
<05159>

in the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_:

every
<0376>

man
<0376>

to his tents
<0168>_,

O Israel
<03478>_.

So every man
<0376>

of Israel
<03478>

went up
<05927> (8799)

from after
<0310>

David
<01732>_,

[and] followed
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_:

but the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

clave
<01692> (8804)

unto their king
<04428>_,

from Jordan
<03383>

even to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

And David
<01732>

came
<0935> (8799)

to his house
<01004>

at Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the king
<04428>

took
<03947> (8799)

the ten
<06235>

women
<0802>

[his] concubines
<06370>_,

whom he had left
<03240> (8689)

to keep
<08104> (8800)

the house
<01004>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

them in ward
<04931>_,

and fed
<03557> (8770)

them, but went not in
<0935> (8804)

unto them. So they were shut up
<06887> (8803)

unto the day
<03117>

of their death
<04191> (8800)_,

living
<02424>

in widowhood
<0491>_.

{ward: Heb. an house of ward} {shut...: Heb. bound} {living...: Heb. in widowhood of life}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the king
<04428>

to Amasa
<06021>_,

Assemble
<02199> (8685)

me the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>

within three
<07969>

days
<03117>_,

and be thou here present
<05975> (8798)_.

{Assemble: Heb. Call}

So Amasa
<06021>

went
<03212> (8799)

to assemble
<02199> (8687)

[the men of] Judah
<03063>_:

but he tarried longer
<0309> (8799) (8675) <03186> (8799)

than the set time
<04150>

which he had appointed
<03259> (8804)

him. {Assemble: Heb. Call}

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Abishai
<052>_,

Now shall Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>

do us more harm
<03415> (8799)

than [did] Absalom
<053>_:

take
<03947> (8798)

thou thy lord's
<0113>

servants
<05650>_,

and pursue
<07291> (8798)

after
<0310>

him, lest he get
<04672> (8804)

him fenced
<01219> (8803)

cities
<05892>_,

and escape
<05337> (8689)

us
<05869>_.

{escape...: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes}

And there went out
<03318> (8799)

after
<0310>

him Joab's
<03097>

men
<0582>_,

and the Cherethites
<03774>_,

and the Pelethites
<06432>_,

and all the mighty men
<01368>_:

and they went out
<03318> (8799)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.

When they [were] at the great
<01419>

stone
<068>

which [is] in Gibeon
<01391>_,

Amasa
<06021>

went
<0935> (8804)

before
<06440>

them. And Joab's
<03097>

garment
<04055>

that he had put on
<03830>

was girded
<02296> (8803)

unto him, and upon it a girdle
<02289>

[with] a sword
<02719>

fastened
<06775> (8794)

upon his loins
<04975>

in the sheath
<08593>

thereof; and as he went forth
<03318> (8804)

it fell out
<05307> (8799)_.

And Joab
<03097>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Amasa
<06021>_,

[Art] thou in health
<07965>_,

my brother
<0251>_?

And Joab
<03097>

took
<0270> (8799)

Amasa
<06021>

by the beard
<02206>

with the right
<03225>

hand
<03027>

to kiss
<05401> (8800)

him.

But Amasa
<06021>

took no heed
<08104> (8738)

to the sword
<02719>

that [was] in Joab's
<03097>

hand
<03027>_:

so he smote
<05221> (8686)

him therewith in the fifth
<02570>

[rib], and shed out
<08210> (8799)

his bowels
<04578>

to the ground
<0776>_,

and struck him not again
<08138> (8804)_;

and he died
<04191> (8799)_.

So Joab
<03097>

and Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>

pursued
<07291> (8804)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.

{struck...: Heb. doubled not his stroke}

And one
<0376>

of Joab's
<03097>

men
<05288>

stood
<05975> (8804)

by him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

He
<04310>

that favoureth
<02654> (8804)

Joab
<03097>_,

and he that [is] for David
<01732>_,

[let him go] after
<0310>

Joab
<03097>_.

And Amasa
<06021>

wallowed
<01556> (8706)

in blood
<01818>

in the midst
<08432>

of the highway
<04546>_.

And when the man
<0376>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that all the people
<05971>

stood still
<05975> (8804)_,

he removed
<05437> (8686)

Amasa
<06021>

out of the highway
<04546>

into the field
<07704>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

a cloth
<0899>

upon him, when he saw
<07200> (8804)

that every one that came
<0935> (8802)

by him stood still
<05975> (8804)_.

When he was removed
<03014> (8689)

out of the highway
<04546>_,

all the people
<0376>

went on
<05674> (8804)

after
<0310>

Joab
<03097>_,

to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_.

And he went
<05674> (8799)

through all the tribes
<07626>

of Israel
<03478>

unto Abel
<059>_,

and to Bethmaachah
<01038>_,

and all the Berites
<01276>_:

and they were gathered together
<06950> (8735) (8675) <07035> (8735)_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

also after
<0310>

him.

And they came
<0935> (8799)

and besieged
<06696> (8799)

him in Abel
<059>

of Bethmaachah
<01038>_,

and they cast up
<08210> (8799)

a bank
<05550>

against the city
<05892>_,

and it stood
<05975> (8799)

in the trench
<02426>_:

and all the people
<05971>

that [were] with Joab
<03097>

battered
<07843> (8688)

the wall
<02346>_,

to throw it down
<05307> (8687)_.

{in the trench: or, against the outmost wall} {battered: Heb. marred to throw down}

Then cried
<07121> (8799)

a wise
<02450>

woman
<0802>

out of the city
<05892>_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)_,

hear
<08085> (8798)_;

say
<0559> (8798)_,

I pray you, unto Joab
<03097>_,

Come near
<07126> (8798)

hither, that I may speak
<01696> (8762)

with thee.

And when he was come near
<07126> (8799)

unto her, the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou Joab
<03097>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am he]. Then she said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Hear
<08085> (8798)

the words
<01697>

of thine handmaid
<0519>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I do hear
<08085> (8802)_.

Then she spake
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They were wont
<01696> (8763)

to speak
<01696> (8762)

in old time
<07223>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

They shall surely
<07592> (8800)

ask
<07592> (8762)

[counsel] at Abel
<059>_:

and so they ended
<08552> (8689)

[the matter]. {They were...: or, They plainly spoke in the beginning, saying, Surely they will ask of Abel, and so make and end}

I [am one of them that are] peaceable
<07999> (8803)

[and] faithful
<0539> (8803)

in Israel
<03478>_:

thou seekest
<01245> (8764)

to destroy
<04191> (8687)

a city
<05892>

and a mother
<0517>

in Israel
<03478>_:

why wilt thou swallow up
<01104> (8762)

the inheritance
<05159>

of the LORD
<03068>_?

And Joab
<03097>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Far be it
<02486>_,

far be it
<02486>

from me, that I should swallow up
<01104> (8762)

or destroy
<07843> (8686)_.

The matter
<01697>

[is] not so: but a man
<0376>

of mount
<02022>

Ephraim
<0669>_,

Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>

by name
<08034>_,

hath lifted up
<05375> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

against the king
<04428>_,

[even] against David
<01732>_:

deliver
<05414> (8798)

him only, and I will depart
<03212> (8799)

from the city
<05892>_.

And the woman
<0802>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joab
<03097>_,

Behold, his head
<07218>

shall be thrown
<07993> (8716)

to thee over
<01157>

the wall
<02346>_.

{by name: Heb. by his name}

Then the woman
<0802>

went
<0935> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>

in her wisdom
<02451>_.

And they cut off
<03772> (8799)

the head
<07218>

of Sheba
<07652>

the son
<01121>

of Bichri
<01075>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

[it] out to Joab
<03097>_.

And he blew
<08628> (8799)

a trumpet
<07782>_,

and they retired
<06327> (8799)

from the city
<05892>_,

every man
<0376>

to his tent
<0168>_.

And Joab
<03097>

returned
<07725> (8804)

to Jerusalem
<03389>

unto the king
<04428>_.

{retired: Heb. were scattered}

Now Joab
<03097>

[was] over all the host
<06635>

of Israel
<03478>_:

and Benaiah
<01141>

the son
<01121>

of Jehoiada
<03077>

[was] over the Cherethites
<03774> (8675) <03746>

and over the Pelethites
<06432>_:

And Adoram
<0151>

[was] over the tribute
<04522>_:

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the son
<01121>

of Ahilud
<0286>

[was] recorder
<02142> (8688)_:

{recorder: or, remembrancer}

And Sheva
<07864> (8675) <07724>

[was] scribe
<05608> (8802)_:

and Zadok
<06659>

and Abiathar
<054>

[were] the priests
<03548>_:

And Ira
<05896>

also the Jairite
<02972>

was a chief ruler
<03548>

about David
<01732>_.

{a chief...: or, a prince}
