strkjv@2Samuel:20:1
@ And there
happened
to be there a
man
of
Belial
b@, whose
name
was
Sheba
, the
son
of
Bichri
, a
Benjamite
Ben-y@: and he
blew
a
trumpet
, and
said
, We have no
part
in
David
, neither have we
inheritance
in the
son
of
Jesse
:
every
man
to his
tents
, O
Israel
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:2
@ So every
man
of
Israel
went
up
from
after
David
, and
followed
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
: but the
men
of
Judah
clave
unto their
king
, from
Jordan
even to
Jerusalem
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:3
@ And
David
came
to his
house
at
Jerusalem
; and the
king
took
the
ten
women
his
concubines
, whom he had
left
to
keep
the
house
, and
put
them in
ward
, and
fed
them, but went not
in
unto them. So they were shut
up
unto the
day
of their
death
,
living
in
widowhood
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:4
@ Then
said
the
king
to
Amasa
,
Assemble
me the
men
of
Judah
within
three
days
, and be thou here
present
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:5
@ So
Amasa
went
to
assemble
the men of
Judah
: but he tarried
longer
than the set
time
which he had
appointed
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:6
@ And
David
said
to
Abishai
, Now shall
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
do us more
harm
than did
Absalom
:
take
thou thy
lords
servants
, and
pursue
after
him, lest he
get
him
fenced
cities
, and
escape
us
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:7
@ And there went
out
after
him
Joabs
men
, and the
Cherethites
, and the
Pelethites
, and all the mighty
men
: and they went
out
of
Jerusalem
, to
pursue
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:8
@ When they were at the
great
stone
which is in
Gibeon
,
Amasa
went
before
them. And
Joabs
garment
that he had put
on
was
girded
unto him, and upon it a
girdle
with a
sword
fastened
upon his
loins
in the
sheath
thereof; and as he went
forth
it fell
out
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:9
@ And
Joab
said
to
Amasa
, Art thou in
health
, my
brother
? And
Joab
took
Amasa
by the
beard
with the
right
hand
to
kiss
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:10
@ But
Amasa
took no
heed
to the
sword
that was in
Joabs
hand
: so he
smote
him therewith in the
fifth
rib, and shed
out
his
bowels
to the
ground
, and struck him not
again
; and he
died
. So
Joab
and
Abishai
his
brother
pursued
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:11
@ And
one
of
Joabs
men
stood
by him, and
said
,
He
that
favoureth
Joab
, and he that is for
David
, let him go
after
Joab
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:12
@ And
Amasa
wallowed
in
blood
in the
midst
of the
highway
. And when the
man
saw
that all the
people
stood
still
, he
removed
Amasa
out of the
highway
into the
field
, and
cast
a
cloth
upon him, when he
saw
that every one that
came
by him stood
still
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:13
@ When he was
removed
out of the
highway
, all the
people
went
on
after
Joab
, to
pursue
after
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:14
@ And he
went
through all the
tribes
of
Israel
unto
Abel
, and to
Bethmaachah
Beyth, and all the
Berites
: and they were gathered
together
, and
went
also
after
him.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:15
@ And they
came
and
besieged
him in
Abel
of
Bethmaachah
Beyth, and they cast
up
a
bank
against the
city
, and it
stood
in the
trench
: and all the
people
that were with
Joab
battered
the
wall
, to throw it
down
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:16
@ Then
cried
a
wise
woman
out of the
city
,
Hear
,
hear
;
say
, I pray you, unto
Joab
, Come
near
hither, that I may
speak
with thee.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:17
@ And when he was come
near
unto her, the
woman
said
, Art thou
Joab
? And he
answered
, I am he. Then she
said
unto him,
Hear
the
words
of thine
handmaid
. And he
answered
, I do
hear
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:18
@ Then she
spake
,
saying
, They were
wont
to
speak
in old
time
,
saying
, They shall
surely
ask
counsel at
Abel
: and so they
ended
the matter.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:19
@ I am one 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 the
LORD
?
strkjv@2Samuel:20:20
@ And
Joab
answered
and
said
, Far be
it
, far be
it
from me, that I should swallow
up
or
destroy
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:21
@ The
matter
is not so: but a
man
of
mount
Ephraim
,
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
by
name
, hath lifted
up
his
hand
against the
king
, even against
David
:
deliver
him only, and I will
depart
from the
city
. And the
woman
said
unto
Joab
, Behold, his
head
shall be
thrown
to thee
over
the
wall
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:22
@ Then the
woman
went
unto all the
people
in her
wisdom
. And they cut
off
the
head
of
Sheba
the
son
of
Bichri
, and
cast
it out to
Joab
. And he
blew
a
trumpet
, and they
retired
from the
city
, every
man
to his
tent
. And
Joab
returned
to
Jerusalem
unto the
king
.
strkjv@2Samuel:20:23
