1And there happenedH7122 to be there a worthlessH1100 fellowH376, whose nameH8034 was ShebaH7652, the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, a BenjamiteH1145: and he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and saidH559, We have no partH2506 in DavidH1732, neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: everyH376 manH376 to his tentsH168, O IsraelH3478. 2So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 withdrewH5927 from followingH310 DavidH1732, followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 held fastH1692 to their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389. 3And DavidH1732 cameH935 to his houseH1004 at JerusalemH3389; and the kingH4428 tookH3947 the tenH6235 womenH802 his concubinesH6370, whom he had leftH3240 to keepH8104 the houseH1004, and putH5414 them in custodyH4931, and fedH3557 them, but went not inH935 to them. So they were shut upH6887 to the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 in widowhoodH491.123
