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,
O Israel.

So every man
of Israel
went up

David,
and followed
Sheba
the son
of Bichri:
but the men
of Judah
clave

from Jordan

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.

Then said
the king
to Amasa,
Assemble
me the men
of Judah
within three
days,
and be thou here present.
So Amasa
went
to assemble
the men of Judah:
but he tarried longer
than the set time
which he had appointed
him.
And David
said
to Abishai,
Now shall Sheba
the son
of Bichri
do us more harm
than did Absalom:
take
thou thy lord's
servants,
and pursue
after
him, lest he get
him fenced
cities,
and escape
us.

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.

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
thereof; and as he went forth
it fell out.

And Joab
said
to Amasa,
Art thou in health,

And Joab
took
Amasa
by the beard
with the right

him.
But Amasa
took no heed
to the sword
that was in Joab's
hand:
so he smote
him therewith in the fifth

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.

And one

He
that favoureth

let him go after
Joab.
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.

When he was removed
out of the highway,
all the people
went on
after
Joab,
to pursue
after
Sheba
the son
of Bichri.
And he went
through all the tribes
of Israel
unto Abel,
and to Bethmaachah,
and all the Berites:
and they were gathered together,
and went
also after
him.

Then cried
a wise

out of the city,
Hear,

say,
I pray you, unto Joab,
Come near
hither, that I may speak
with thee.
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

of thine handmaid.
And he answered,
I do hear.

And the woman
said
unto Joab,
Behold, his head

Then the woman

And he blew

And Joab
returned
to Jerusalem
