Sheba’s Revolt
1 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: 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, Oh Israēl.
וְשָׁ֨ם נִקְרָ֜א אִ֣ישׁ בְּלִיַּ֗עַל וּשְׁמֹ֛ו שֶׁ֥בַע בֶּן־בִּכְרִ֖י אִ֣ישׁ יְמִינִ֑י וַיִּתְקַ֣ע בַּשֹּׁפָ֗ר וַ֠יֹּאמֶר אֵֽין־לָ֨נוּ חֵ֜לֶק בְּדָוִ֗ד וְלֹ֤א נַֽחֲלָה־לָ֙נוּ֙ בְּבֶן־יִשַׁ֔י אִ֥ישׁ לְאֹהָלָ֖יו יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
| 1 Καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐπικαλούμενος υἱὸς παράνομος καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σαβεὲ υἱὸς Βοχορὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ Ἰεμενὶ καὶ ἐσάλπισεν ἐν τῇ κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπεν Οὐκ ἔστιν ἡμῖν μερὶς ἐν Δαυὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί· ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ. | 1 Καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐπικαλούμενος υἱὸς παράνομος, καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Σαβεέ, υἱὸς Βοχορὶ ἀνὴρ ὁ Ἰεμινί, καὶ ἐσάλπισε τῇ κερατίνῃ καὶ εἶπε· οὐκ ἐστιν ἡμῖν μερὶς ἐν Δαυὶδ οὐδὲ κληρονομία ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ υἱῷ Ἰεσσαί· ἀνὴρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματά σου, Ἰσραήλ. |
| 1 And there was a transgressor so called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae: to your tents, Oh Israēl, everyone. | 1 And there was a transgressor so called there, and his name was Sabee, a Benjamite, the son of Bochori: and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no portion in David, neither have we any inheritance in the son of Jessae: to your tents, Oh Israēl, everyone. |
2 So every man of Israēl went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah split unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.

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 didn’t go in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.

| 3 And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and didn’t go in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death. | 3 And David went into his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and he put them in a place of custody, and maintained them, and didn’t go in to them; and they were kept living as widows, till the day of their death. |
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be here present.

| 4 And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Jouda for three days, and do you be present here. | 4 And the king said to Amessai, Call to me the men of Jouda for three days, and do you be present here. |
5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.

6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take you your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.

7 And there went out after him Joab’s 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.

8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s 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 of it; and as he went forth it fell out.

Amasa Murdered
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand: so he smote him with it 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.

19 I am one of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israēl: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Israēl: why will you swallow up the inheritance of the LORD?

20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.

21 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has 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 you over the wall.
