2 Samuel 20:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Now a rebellious individual from Benjamin named Sheba, the son of Bichri, happened to be there. He sounded the horn and cried out, "We have no portion in David, nor any share in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tent, O Israel!"
2 So all the Israelites left David for Sheba, son of Bichri. But from the Jordan to Jerusalem the Judahites remained loyal to their king.
3 When King David came to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines whom he had left behind to take care of the palace and placed them in confinement. He provided for them, but had no further relations with them. And so they remained in confinement to the day of their death, lifelong widows.
4 Then the king said to Amasa: "Summon the Judahites for me within three days. Then present yourself here."
5 Accordingly Amasa set out to summon Judah, but delayed beyond the time set for him by David.
6 Then David said to Abishai: "Sheba, son of Bichri, may now do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he find fortified cities and take shelter while we look on."
7 So Joab and the Cherethites and Pelethites and all the warriors marched out behind Abishai from Jerusalem to campaign in pursuit of Sheba, son of Bichri.
8 They were at the great stone in Gibeon when Amasa met them. Now Joab had a belt over his tunic, from which was slung, in its sheath near his thigh, a sword that could be drawn with a downward movement.
9 And Joab asked Amasa, "How are you, my brother?" With his right hand Joab held Amasa's beard as if to kiss him.
10 And since Amasa was not on his guard against the sword in Joab's other hand, Joab stabbed him in the abdomen with it, so that his entrails burst forth to the ground, and he died without receiving a second thrust. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba, son of Bichri.
11 One of Joab's attendants stood by Amasa and said, "Let him who favors Joab and is for David follow Joab."
12 Amasa lay covered with blood in the middle of the highroad, and the man noticed that all the soldiers were stopping. So he removed Amasa from the road to the field and placed a garment over him, because all who came up to him were stopping.
13 When he had been removed from the road, everyone went on after Joab in pursuit of Sheba, son of Bichri.
14 Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel Beth-maacah. Then all the Bichrites assembled and they too entered the city after him.
15 So David's servants came and besieged him in Abel Beth-maacah. They threw up a mound against the city, and all the soldiers who were with Joab began battering the wall to throw it down.
16 Then a wise woman from the city stood on the outworks and called out, "Listen, listen! Tell Joab to come here, that I may speak with him."
17 When Joab had come near her, the woman said, "Are you Joab?" And he replied, "Yes." She said to him, "Listen to what your maidservant has to say." He replied. "I am listening."
18 Then she went on to say: "There is an ancient saying, 'Let them ask if they will in Abel
19 or in Dan whether loyalty is finished or ended in Israel.' You are seeking to beat down a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you wish to destroy the inheritance of the LORD?"
20 Joab answered, "Not at all, not at all! I do not wish to destroy or to ruin anything.
21 That is not the case at all. A man named Sheba, son of Bichri, from the hill country of Ephraim has rebelled against King David. Surrender him alone, and I will withdraw from the city." Then the woman said to Joab, "His head shall be thrown to you across the wall."
22 She went to all the people with her advice, and they cut off the head of Sheba, son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. He then sounded the horn, and they scattered from the city to their own tents, while Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
23 Joab was in command of the whole army of Israel. Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, was in command of the Cherethites and Pelethites.
24 Adoram was in charge of the forced labor. Jehoshaphat, son of Ahilud, was the chancellor.
25 Shawsha was the scribe. Zadok and Abiathar were priests.
26 Ira the Jairite was also David's priest.
1 And there H8033 W-ADV happened H7122 to be there a man H376 NMS of Belial H1100 , whose name H8034 was Sheba H7652 , the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 , a Benjamite H1145 : and he blew H8628 a trumpet H7782 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , We have no H369 ADV part H2506 CMS in David H1732 , neither H3808 W-NPAR have we inheritance H5159 in the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 : every man H376 NMS to his tents H168 , O Israel H3478 LMS .
2 So every H3605 NMS man H376 NMS of Israel H3478 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS from after H310 David H1732 , and followed H310 PREP Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 : but the men H376 NMS of Judah H3063 cleaved H1692 unto their king H4428 , from H4480 PREP Jordan H3383 D-EFS even to H5704 W-PREP Jerusalem H3389 .
3 And David H1732 came H935 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP his house H1004 NMS-3MS at Jerusalem H3389 ; and the king H4428 D-NMS took H3947 W-VQY3MS the ten H6235 women H802 GFP his concubines H6370 , whom H834 RPRO he had left H5117 to keep H8104 L-VQFC the house H1004 D-NMS , and put H5414 them in ward H1004 CMS , and fed H3557 them , but went H935 not H3808 NADV in unto H413 PREP them . So they were H1961 shut up H6887 unto H5704 PREP the day H3117 NMS of their death H4191 , living H2424 in widowhood H491 .
4 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS to H413 PREP Amasa H6021 , Assemble H2199 me the men H376 NMS of Judah H3063 within three H7969 BMS days H3117 NMP , and be thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS here H6311 ADV present H5975 .
5 So Amasa H6021 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to assemble H2199 the men of Judah H3063 : but he tarried longer H3186 than H4480 PREP the set time H4150 which H834 RPRO he had appointed H3259 him .
6 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Abishai H52 , Now H6258 ADV shall Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 do us more harm H3415 than H4480 PREP did Absalom H53 : take H3947 VQI2MS thou H859 PPRO-2MS thy lord H113 \'s servants H5650 , and pursue H7291 after H310 PREP-3MS him , lest H6435 CONJ he get H4672 VQPMS him fenced H1219 cities H5892 GFP , and escape H5337 us .
7 And there went out H3318 W-VQY3MP after H310 him Joab H3097 \'s men H376 CMP , and the Cherethites H3774 , and the Pelethites H6432 , and all H3605 W-CMS the mighty men H1368 D-AMP : and they went out H3318 of Jerusalem H3389 , to pursue H7291 after H310 PREP Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 .
8 When they H1992 PPRO-3MP were at H5973 PREP the great H1419 D-AFS stone H68 which H834 RPRO is in Gibeon H1391 , Amasa H6021 went H935 VQPMS before H6440 L-CMP-3MP them . And Joab H3097 \'s garment H4055 that he had put on H3830 was girded H2296 unto H5921 PREP him , and upon H5921 PREP it a girdle H2289 with a sword H2719 GFS fastened H6775 upon H5921 PREP his loins H4975 in the sheath H8593 thereof ; and as he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS went forth H3318 VQQ3MS it fell out H5307 .
9 And Joab H3097 said H559 W-VQY3MS to Amasa H6021 , Art thou H859 PPRO-2MS in health H7965 , my brother H251 ? And Joab H3097 took H270 Amasa H6021 by the beard H2206 with the right H3225 hand H3027 CFS to kiss H5401 him .
10 But Amasa H6021 took no H3808 ADV heed H8104 to the sword H2719 that H834 RPRO was in Joab H3097 \'s hand H3027 B-CFS : so he smote H5221 him therewith in H413 PREP the fifth H2570 rib , and shed out H8210 his bowels H4578 to the ground H776 NFS-3FS , and struck H8138 him not H3808 W-NADV again ; and he died H4191 . So Joab H3097 and Abishai H52 his brother H251 CMS-3MS pursued H7291 after H310 PREP Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 .
11 And one H376 W-NMS of Joab\'s men H5288 stood H5975 by H5921 PREP-3MS him , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , He H4310 W-IPRO that H834 RPRO favoreth H2654 Joab H3097 , and he H4310 W-IPRO that H834 RPRO is for David H1732 L-NAME , let him go after H310 PREP Joab H3097 .
12 And Amasa H6021 wallowed H1556 in blood H1818 in the midst H8432 B-NMS of the highway H4546 . And when the man H376 D-NMS saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the people H5971 stood still H5975 , he removed H5437 Amasa H6021 out of H4480 PREP the highway H4546 into the field H7704 D-NMS , and cast H7993 a cloth H899 upon H5921 PREP-3MS him , when H834 K-RPRO he saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that every H3605 NMS one that came H935 by H5921 PREP-3MS him stood still H5975 .
13 When H834 K-RPRO he was removed H3014 out of H4480 PREP the highway H4546 , all H3605 NMS the people H376 NMS went on H5674 VQQ3MS after H310 PREP Joab H3097 , to pursue H7291 after H310 PREP Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 .
14 And he went through H5674 all H3605 B-CMS the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 unto Abel H59 , and to Beth H1038 - maachah , and all H3605 W-CMS the Berites H1276 : and they were gathered together H7035 , and went H935 W-VQY3MP also H637 CONJ after H310 him .
15 And they came H935 W-VQY3MP and besieged H6696 him in Abel of Beth H62 - maachah , and they cast up H8210 a bank H5550 against H413 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , and it stood H5975 in the trench H2426 : and all H3605 W-CMS the people H5971 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP Joab H3097 battered H7843 the wall H2346 , to throw it down H5307 .
16 Then cried H7121 W-VQY2MS a wise H2450 woman H802 NFS out of H4480 PREP the city H5892 D-GFS , Hear H8085 VQI2MP , hear H8085 VQI2MP ; say H559 , I pray you H4994 IJEC , unto H413 PREP Joab H3097 , Come near H7126 hither H5704 PREP , that I may speak H1696 W-VPI1MS with H413 PREP thee .
17 And when he was come near H7126 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3FS her , the woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Art thou H859 Joab H3097 ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I H589 PPRO-1MS am he . Then she said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him Hear H8085 VQI2MS the words H1697 CMP of thine handmaid H519 . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I H595 PPRO-1MS do hear H8085 VQI2MS .
18 Then she spoke H559 W-VQY3FS , saying H559 L-VQFC , They were wont H1696 VPFC to speak H1696 in old time H7223 , saying H559 L-VQFC , They shall surely ask H7592 counsel at Abel H59 : and so H3651 they ended H8552 the matter .
19 I H595 PPRO-1MS am one of them that are peaceable H7999 and faithful H539 in Israel H3478 : thou H859 PPRO-2MS seekest H1245 to destroy H4191 a city H5892 GFS and a mother H517 in Israel H3478 : why H4100 L-IPRO wilt thou swallow up H1104 the inheritance H5159 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS ?
20 And Joab H3097 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Far be it H2486 IJEC-3FS , far be it H2486 IJEC-3FS from me , that H518 PART I should swallow up H1104 or H518 PART destroy H7843 .
21 The matter H1697 D-NMS is not H3808 NADV so H3651 ADV : but H3588 CONJ a man H376 NMS of mount H2022 Ephraim H669 , Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 by name H8034 CMS-3MS , hath lifted up H5375 VQQ3MS his hand H3027 CFS-3MS against the king H4428 , even against David H1732 : deliver H5414 him only H905 L-CMS-3MS , and I will depart H1980 from M-PREP the city H5892 D-GFS . And the woman H802 D-NFS said H559 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP Joab H3097 , Behold H2009 IJEC , his head H7218 CMS-3MS shall be thrown H7993 to H413 PREP thee over H1157 PREP the wall H2346 .
22 Then the woman H802 D-NFS went H935 W-VQY3FS unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 in her wisdom H2451 . And they cut off H3772 the head H7218 NMS of Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 , and cast it out H7993 to H413 PREP Joab H3097 . And he blew H8628 a trumpet H7782 , and they retired H6327 from the city H5892 D-GFS , every man H376 NMS to his tent H168 . And Joab H3097 returned H7725 VQQ3MS to Jerusalem H3389 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 .
23 Now Joab H3097 was over H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the host H6635 of Israel H3478 : and Benaiah H1141 the son H1121 of Jehoiada H3077 was over H5921 PREP the Cherethites H3774 and over H5921 PREP the Pelethites H6432 :
24 And Adoram H151 was over H5921 PREP the tribute H4522 : and Jehoshaphat H3092 the son H1121 of Ahilud H286 was recorder H2142 :
25 And Sheva H7724 was scribe H5608 : and Zadok H6659 and Abiathar H54 were the priests H3548 :
26 And Ira H5896 also H1571 W-CONJ the Jairite H2972 was H1961 VQQ3MS a chief ruler H3548 NMS about David H1732 .
