2 Samuel 20:1-9

1Now a worthlessH1100 manH376 namedH8034 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH376H3228, happenedH7122 to be thereH8033, and he blewH8628 the ram’s hornH7782 and shoutedH559:

2So allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 desertedH5927H310 DavidH1732 to followH310 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075. But the menH376 of JudahH3063 stayed byH1692 their kingH4428 all the wayH5704 fromH4480 the JordanH3383 to JerusalemH3389.

3When DavidH1732 returnedH935 toH413 his palaceH1004 in JerusalemH3389, heH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235H802 concubinesH6370 he had leftH5117 to take care ofH8104 the palaceH1004, and he placed themH5414 in a houseH1004 under guardH4931. He provided for themH3557, but he no longerH3808 slept withH413 themH935. They wereH1961 confinedH6887 untilH5704 the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 as widowsH491.

4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 AmasaH6021, “SummonH2199 the menH376 of JudahH3063 to come to me within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be hereH6311H5975 yourselfH859.”

5So AmasaH6021 wentH1980 to summonH2199 JudahH3063, but he took longerH309 thanH4480 the timeH4150 allotted himH3259.

6And DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 AbishaiH52, “NowH6258 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 will do us more harmH3415 thanH4480 AbsalomH53H859. TakeH3947 your lord’sH113 servantsH5650 and pursue himH7291H310, orH6435 he will findH4672 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 and eludeH5337 usH5869.1”

7So Joab’sH3097 menH582, along with the CherethitesH3774, the PelethitesH6432, and allH3605 the mighty menH1368, marched out ofH3318 JerusalemH3389 in pursuitH7291H310 of ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075. 8And while theyH1992 were atH5973 the greatH1419 stoneH68 in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 joinedH935 themH6440.

Now JoabH3097 was dressedH2296 in military attireH4055H3830, with a daggerH2719 strappedH6775 to his beltH2290H5921H4975. And as heH1931 stepped forwardH3318, he slipped the daggerH5307 from its sheathH8593.2 9“Are youH859 wellH7965, my brotherH251?” JoabH3097 askedH559 AmasaH6021. And with his rightH3225 handH3027 JoabH3097 grabbedH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 to kissH5401 him.
