2 Samuel 20:1-9

1And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of Belial, whoseH1121 nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a Benjamite: and he blewH8628 the trumpetH7782, and saidH559, WeH8033 have noH3808 portionH2506 in DavidH1732, neitherH3808 have weH8033 inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478.

2SoH4480 allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927 from followingH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 clave unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 evenH5704 to JerusalemH3389.

3And DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whomH834 he had leftH5414 to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and putH5414 them in ward, and providedH3557 them with sustenanceH3557, but wentH935 notH3808 in unto them. SoH3947 they were shut upH5704 unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4194, livingH2424 in widowhoodH491.

4Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, CallH559 meH413 the menH376 of JudahH3063 togetherH2199 withinH413 threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou hereH6311 presentH5975.

5SoH4480 AmasaH6021 went to callH2199 the men of JudahH3063 togetherH2199: but he tarried longer thanH4480 the setH834 time whichH834 he had appointedH4150 him.

6And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, NowH6258 shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do usH413 moreH4480 harm thanH4480 did AbsalomH53: takeH3947 thou thy lord’sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 afterH310 him, lestH6435 he getH3947 him fenced citiesH5892, and escapeH5337 outH4480 of our sightH5869.

7And there wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 him Joab’sH3097 menH376, and the CherethitesH3774 and the PelethitesH6432, and allH3605 the mightyH1368 menH376: and they wentH3318 outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.

8When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 whichH834 is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 cameH935 to meetH6440 them. And JoabH3097 was girdedH2296 with his apparelH3830 of warH2719 that he had putH935 on, and thereonH5921 was a girdle with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 uponH5921 his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he wentH3318 forthH3318 it fellH5307 outH3318.

9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Is it wellH7965 with thee, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with his rightH3225 handH3027 to kiss him.
