There happened
H1100
to be there a base
H376
fellow,
H8034
whose name
H7652
was Sheba,
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri,
H1145
a Benjamite:
H8628
and he blew
H7782
the trumpet,
H559
and said,
H2506
"We have no portion
H1732
in David,
H5159
neither have we inheritance
H1121
in the son
H3448
of Jesse.
H376
Every
H376
man
H168
to his tents,
H3478
Israel!"
2
H376
So all the men
H3478
of Israel
H5927
went up
H310
from following
H1732
David,
H310
and followed
H7652
Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri;
H376
but the men
H3063
of Judah
H1692
joined
H4428
with their king,
H3383
from the Jordan
H3389
even to Jerusalem.
3
H1732
David
H935
came
H1004
to his house
H3389
at Jerusalem;
H4428
and the king
H3947
took
H6235
the ten
H802
women
H6370
his concubines,
H3240
whom he had left
H8104
to keep
H1004
the house,
H5414
and put
H4931
them in custody,
H3557
and provided them with sustenance,
H935
but didn't go in
H6887
to them. So they were shut up
H3117
to the day
H4191
of their death,
H2424
living
H491
in widowhood.
4
H4428
Then the king
H559
said
H6021
to Amasa,
H2199
"Call
H376
me the men
H3063
of Judah
H7969
together within three
H3117
days,
H5975
and be here present."
5
H6021
So Amasa
H3212
went
H2199
to call
H3063
the men of Judah
H309
together; but he stayed longer
H4150
than the set time
H3259
which he had appointed him.
6
H1732
David
H559
said
H52
to Abishai,
H7652
"Now Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri
H3415
will do us more harm
H53
than Absalom
H3947
did. Take
H113
your lord's
H5650
servants,
H7291
and pursue
H310
after
H4672
him, lest he get
H1219
himself fortified
H5892
cities,
H5337
and escape
H5869
out of our sight."
7
H3318
There went out
H310
after
H3097
him Joab's
H582
men,
H3774
and the Cherethites
H6432
and the Pelethites,
H1368
and all the mighty men;
H3318
and they went out
H3389
of Jerusalem,
H7291
to pursue
H310
after
H7652
Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri.
8
H1419
When they were at the great
H68
stone
H1391
which is in Gibeon,
H6021
Amasa
H935
came
H6440
to meet
H3097
them. Joab
H2296
was clothed
H4055
in his apparel
H3830
of war that he had put on,
H2289
and on it was a sash
H2719
with a sword
H6775
fastened
H4975
on his waist
H8593
in its sheath;
H3318
and as he went forth
H3318
it fell out.
9
H3097
Joab
H559
said
H6021
to Amasa,
H7965
"Is it well
H251
with you, my brother?"
H3097
Joab
H270
took
H6021
Amasa
H2206
by the beard
H3225
with his right
H3027
hand
H5401
to kiss him.
10
H6021
But Amasa
H8104
took no heed
H2719
to the sword
H3097
that was in Joab's
H3027
hand.
H5221
So he struck
H2570
him with it in the body,
H8210
and shed out
H4578
his bowels
H776
to the ground,
H8138
and didn't strike him again;
H4191
and he died.
H3097
Joab
H52
and Abishai
H251
his brother
H7291
pursued
H310
after
H7652
Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri.
11
H5975
There stood
H376
by him one
H3097
of Joab's
H5288
young men,
H559
and said,
H4310
"He
H2654
who favors
H3097
Joab,
H1732
and he who is for David,
H310
let him follow
H3097
Joab!"
12
H6021
Amasa
H1556
lay wallowing
H1818
in his blood
H8432
in the midst
H4546
of the highway.
H376
When the man
H7200
saw
H5971
that all the people
H5975
stood still,
H5437
he carried
H6021
Amasa
H4546
out of the highway
H7704
into the field,
H7993
and cast
H899
a garment
H7200
over him, when he saw
H935
that everyone who came
H5975
by him stood still.
13
H3014
When he was removed
H4546
out of the highway,
H376
all the people
H5674
went on
H310
after
H3097
Joab,
H7291
to pursue
H310
after
H7652
Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri.
14
H5674
He went
H7626
through all the tribes
H3478
of Israel
H59
to Abel,
H1038
and to Beth Maacah,
H1276
and all the Berites:
H6950
and they were gathered together,
H935
and went
H310
also after him.
15
H935
They came
H6696
and besieged
H59
him in Abel
H1038
of Beth Maacah,
H8210
and they cast up
H5550
a mound
H5892
against the city,
H5975
and it stood
H2426
against the rampart;
H5971
and all the people
H3097
who were with Joab
H7843
battered
H2346
the wall,
H5307
to throw it down.
16
H2450
Then a wise
H802
woman
H7121
cried
H5892
out of the city,
H8085
"Hear,
H8085
hear!
H559
Please say
H3097
to Joab,
H7126
‘Come near
H1696
here, that I may speak with you.'"
17
H7126
He came near
H802
to her; and the woman
H559
said,
H3097
"Are you Joab?"
H559
He answered,
H559
"I am." Then she said
H8085
to him, "Hear
H1697
the words
H519
of your handmaid."
H559
He answered,
H8085
"I do hear."
18
H559
Then she spoke,
H559
saying,
H1696
"They were used
H1696
to say
H7223
in old times,
H559
H7592
‘They shall surely
H7592
ask
H59
counsel at Abel;'
H8552
and so they settled it.
19
H7999
I am among those who are peaceable
H539
and faithful
H3478
in Israel.
H1245
You seek
H4191
to destroy
H5892
a city
H517
and a mother
H3478
in Israel.
H1104
Why will you swallow up
H5159
the inheritance
H3068
of Yahweh?"
20
H3097
Joab
H6030
answered,
H559
H2486
"Far be it,
H2486
far be it
H1104
from me, that I should swallow up
H7843
or destroy.
21
H1697
The matter
H376
is not so. But a man
H2022
of the hill
H669
country of Ephraim,
H7652
Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri
H8034
by name,
H5375
has lifted up
H3027
his hand
H4428
against the king,
H1732
even against David.
H5414
Deliver
H3212
him only, and I will depart
H5892
from the city."
H802
The woman
H559
said
H3097
to Joab,
H7218
"Behold, his head
H7993
shall be thrown
H1157
to you over
H2346
the wall."
22
H802
Then the woman
H935
went
H5971
to all the people
H2451
in her wisdom.
H3772
They cut off
H7218
the head
H7652
of Sheba
H1121
the son
H1075
of Bichri,
H7993
and threw
H3097
it out to Joab.
H8628
He blew
H7782
the trumpet,
H6327
and they were dispersed
H5892
from the city,
H376
every man
H168
to his tent.
H3097
Joab
H7725
returned
H3389
to Jerusalem
H4428
to the king.
23
H3097
Now Joab
H6635
was over all the army
H3478
of Israel;
H1141
and Benaiah
H1121
the son
H3077
of Jehoiada
H3774
was over the Cherethites
H6432
and over the Pelethites;
