| [1]And there happenedH7122[H8738] to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628[H8799] a trumpetH7782, and saidH559[H8799], We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478. |

| [2]So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927[H8799] from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692[H8804] unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389. |

| [3]And DavidH1732 cameH935[H8799] to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947[H8799] the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whom he had leftH3240[H8689] to keepH8104[H8800] the houseH1004, and putH5414[H8799] them in wardH4931, and fedH3557[H8770] them, but went not inH935[H8804] unto them. So they were shut upH6887[H8803] unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4191[H8800], livingH2424 in widowhoodH491. |
[No book] |
| [4]Then saidH559[H8799] the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, AssembleH2199[H8685] me the menH376 of JudahH3063 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou here presentH5975.[H8798] |
[No book] |
| [5]So AmasaH6021 wentH3212[H8799] to assembleH2199[H8687] the men of JudahH3063: but he tarried longerH309[H8799][H8675][H3186][H8799] than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH3259 himH8804. |

| [6]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] to AbishaiH52, Now shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do us more harmH3415[H8799] than did AbsalomH53: takeH3947[H8798] thou thy lord'sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291[H8798] afterH310 him, lest he getH4672[H8804] him fencedH1219[H8803] citiesH5892, and escapeH5337[H8689] usH5869. |

| [7]And there went outH3318[H8799] afterH310 him Joab'sH3097 menH582, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and all the mighty menH1368: and they went outH3318[H8799] of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291[H8800] afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. |
[No book] |
| [8]When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 wentH935[H8804] beforeH6440 them. And Joab'sH3097 garmentH4055 that he had put onH3830 was girdedH2296[H8803] unto him, and upon it a girdleH2289 with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775[H8794] upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he went forthH3318[H8804] it fell outH5307.[H8799] |
[No book] |
| [9]And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799] to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270[H8799] AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 himH8800. |
[No book] |
| [10]But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104[H8738] to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221[H8686] him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210[H8799] his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138[H8804]; and he diedH4191[H8799]. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291[H8804] afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. |
[No book] |
| [11]And oneH376 of Joab'sH3097 menH5288 stoodH5975[H8804] by him, and saidH559[H8799], HeH4310 that favourethH2654[H8804] JoabH3097, and he that is for DavidH1732, let him go afterH310 JoabH3097. |
[No book] |
| [12]And AmasaH6021 wallowedH1556[H8706] in bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200[H8799] that all the peopleH5971 stood stillH5975[H8804], he removedH5437[H8686] AmasaH6021 out of the highwayH4546 into the fieldH7704, and castH7993[H8686] a clothH899 upon him, when he sawH7200[H8804] that every one that cameH935[H8802] by him stood stillH5975.[H8804] |
[No book] |
| [13]When he was removedH3014[H8689] out of the highwayH4546, all the peopleH376 went onH5674[H8804] afterH310 JoabH3097, to pursueH7291[H8800] afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. |
[No book] |
| [14]And he wentH5674[H8799] through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to BethmaachahH1038, and all the BeritesH1276: and they were gathered togetherH6950[H8735][H8675][H7035][H8735], and wentH935[H8799] also after himH310. |
[No book] |
| [15]And they cameH935[H8799] and besiegedH6696[H8799] him in AbelH59 of BethmaachahH1038, and they cast upH8210[H8799] a bankH5550 against the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975[H8799] in the trenchH2426: and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 batteredH7843[H8688] the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307.[H8687] |
[No book] |
| [16]Then criedH7121[H8799] a wiseH2450 womanH802 out of the cityH5892, HearH8085[H8798], hearH8085[H8798]; sayH559[H8798], I pray you, unto JoabH3097, Come nearH7126[H8798] hither, that I may speakH1696 with theeH8762. |
[No book] |
| [17]And when he was come nearH7126[H8799] unto her, the womanH802 saidH559[H8799], Art thou JoabH3097? And he answeredH559[H8799], I am he. Then she saidH559[H8799] unto him, HearH8085[H8798] the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH519. And he answeredH559[H8799], I do hearH8085.[H8802] |
[No book] |
| [18]Then she spakeH559[H8799], sayingH559[H8800], They were wontH1696[H8763] to speakH1696[H8762] in old timeH7223, sayingH559[H8800], They shall surelyH7592[H8800] askH7592[H8762] counsel at AbelH59: and so they endedH8552 the matterH8689. |
[No book] |
| [19]I am one of them that are peaceableH7999[H8803] and faithfulH539[H8803] in IsraelH3478: thou seekestH1245[H8764] to destroyH4191[H8687] a cityH5892 and a motherH517 in IsraelH3478: why wilt thou swallow upH1104[H8762] the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068? |
[No book] |
| [20]And JoabH3097 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Far be itH2486, far be itH2486 from me, that I should swallow upH1104[H8762] or destroyH7843.[H8686] |
[No book] |
| [21]The matterH1697 is not so: but a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 by nameH8034, hath lifted upH5375[H8804] his handH3027 against the kingH4428, even against DavidH1732: deliverH5414[H8798] him only, and I will departH3212[H8799] from the cityH5892. And the womanH802 saidH559[H8799] unto JoabH3097, Behold, his headH7218 shall be thrownH7993[H8716] to thee overH1157 the wallH2346. |
[No book] |
| [22]Then the womanH802 wentH935[H8799] unto all the peopleH5971 in her wisdomH2451. And they cut offH3772[H8799] the headH7218 of ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, and castH7993[H8686] it out to JoabH3097. And he blewH8628[H8799] a trumpetH7782, and they retiredH6327[H8799] from the cityH5892, every manH376 to his tentH168. And JoabH3097 returnedH7725[H8804] to JerusalemH3389 unto the kingH4428. |
