And there happenedH7122 to be there a manH376 of BelialH1100, 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.
So every manH376 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 from afterH310 DavidH1732, and followedH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075: but the menH376 of JudahH3063 claveH1692 unto their kingH4428, from JordanH3383 even to JerusalemH3389.
And 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 wardH4931, and fedH3557 them, but went not inH935 unto them. So they were shut upH6887 unto the dayH3117 of their deathH4191, livingH2424 in widowhoodH491. {ward: Heb. an house of ward} {shut…: Heb. bound} {living…: Heb. in widowhood of life}
Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, AssembleH2199 me the menH376 of JudahH3063 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou here presentH5975. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
So AmasaH6021 wentH3212 to assembleH2199 the men of JudahH3063: but he tarried longerH309+H3186 than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH3259 him. {Assemble: Heb. Call}
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, Now shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do us more harmH3415 than did AbsalomH53: takeH3947 thou thy lord'sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 afterH310 him, lest he getH4672 him fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and escapeH5337 usH5869. {escape…: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes}
And there went outH3318 afterH310 him Joab'sH3097 menH582, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and all the mighty menH1368: and they went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 wentH935 beforeH6440 them. And Joab'sH3097 garmentH4055 that he had put onH3830 was girdedH2296 unto him, and upon it a girdleH2289 with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he went forthH3318 it fell outH5307.
And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.
But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab'sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. {struck…: Heb. doubled not his stroke}
And oneH376 of Joab'sH3097 menH5288 stoodH5975 by him, and saidH559, HeH4310 that favourethH2654 JoabH3097, and he that is for DavidH1732, let him go afterH310 JoabH3097.
And AmasaH6021 wallowedH1556 in bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200 that all the peopleH5971 stood stillH5975, he removedH5437 AmasaH6021 out of the highwayH4546 into the fieldH7704, and castH7993 a clothH899 upon him, when he sawH7200 that every one that cameH935 by him stood stillH5975.
When he was removedH3014 out of the highwayH4546, all the peopleH376 went onH5674 afterH310 JoabH3097, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
And he wentH5674 through all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478 unto AbelH59, and to BethmaachahH1038, and all the BeritesH1276: and they were gathered togetherH6950+H7035, and wentH935 also afterH310 him.
And they cameH935 and besiegedH6696 him in AbelH59 of BethmaachahH1038, and they cast upH8210 a bankH5550 against the cityH5892, and it stoodH5975 in the trenchH2426: and all the peopleH5971 that were with JoabH3097 batteredH7843 the wallH2346, to throw it downH5307. {in the trench: or, against the outmost wall} {battered: Heb. marred to throw down}
Then criedH7121 a wiseH2450 womanH802 out of the cityH5892, HearH8085, hearH8085; sayH559, I pray you, unto JoabH3097, Come nearH7126 hither, that I may speakH1696 with thee.
And when he was come nearH7126 unto her, the womanH802 saidH559, Art thou JoabH3097? And he answeredH559, I am he. Then she saidH559 unto him, HearH8085 the wordsH1697 of thine handmaidH519. And he answeredH559, I do hearH8085.
Then she spakeH559, sayingH559, They were wontH1696 to speakH1696 in old timeH7223, sayingH559, They shall surelyH7592 askH7592 counsel at AbelH59: and so they endedH8552 the matter. {They were…: or, They plainly spake in the beginning, saying, Surely they will ask of Abel, and so make an end}
I am one of them that are peaceableH7999 and faithfulH539 in IsraelH3478: thou seekestH1245 to destroyH4191 a cityH5892 and a motherH517 in IsraelH3478: why wilt thou swallow upH1104 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?
And JoabH3097 answeredH6030 and saidH559, Far be itH2486, far be itH2486 from me, that I should swallow upH1104 or destroyH7843.
The matterH1697 is not so: but a manH376 of mountH2022 EphraimH669, ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 by nameH8034, hath lifted upH5375 his handH3027 against the kingH4428, even against DavidH1732: deliverH5414 him only, and I will departH3212 from the cityH5892. And the womanH802 saidH559 unto JoabH3097, Behold, his headH7218 shall be thrownH7993 to thee overH1157 the wallH2346. {by name: Heb. by his name}
Then the womanH802 wentH935 unto all the peopleH5971 in her wisdomH2451. And they cut offH3772 the headH7218 of ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075, and castH7993 it out to JoabH3097. And he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782, and they retiredH6327 from the cityH5892, every manH376 to his tentH168. And JoabH3097 returnedH7725 to JerusalemH3389 unto the kingH4428. {retired: Heb. were scattered}
Now JoabH3097 was over all the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478: and BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 was over the CherethitesH3774+H3746 and over the PelethitesH6432:
And AdoramH151 was over the tributeH4522: and JehoshaphatH3092 the sonH1121 of AhiludH286 was recorderH2142: {recorder: or, remembrancer}
And ShevaH7864+H7724 was scribeH5608: and ZadokH6659 and AbiatharH54 were the priestsH3548:
And IraH5896 also the JairiteH2972 was a chief rulerH3548 about DavidH1732. {a chief…: or, a prince}

And, behold, all the menH376 of IsraelH3478 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559 unto the kingH4428, Why have our brethrenH251 the menH376 of JudahH3063 stolen thee awayH1589, and have broughtH5674 the kingH4428, and his householdH1004, and all David'sH1732 menH582 with him, over JordanH3383?
And all the menH376 of JudahH3063 answeredH6030 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, Because the kingH4428 is near of kinH7138 to us: wherefore then be ye angryH2734 for this matterH1697? have we eatenH398 at allH398 of the king'sH4428 cost? or hath he givenH5375 us any giftH5379?
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 the menH376 of JudahH3063, and saidH559, We have tenH6235 partsH3027 in the kingH4428, and weH589 have also more right in DavidH1732 than ye: why then did ye despiseH7043 us, that our adviceH1697 should not be firstH7223 had in bringing backH7725 our kingH4428? And the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiercerH7185 than the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478. {despise…: Heb. set us at light}
But the sons of BelialH1100 shall be all of them as thornsH6975 thrust awayH5074, because they cannot be takenH3947 with handsH3027:
But AbsalomH53 sentH7971 spiesH7270 throughout all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, As soon as ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, then ye shall sayH559, AbsalomH53 reignethH4427 in HebronH2275.
And the menH376 of IsraelH3478 answeredH6030 the menH376 of JudahH3063, and saidH559, We have tenH6235 partsH3027 in the kingH4428, and weH589 have also more right in DavidH1732 than ye: why then did ye despiseH7043 us, that our adviceH1697 should not be firstH7223 had in bringing backH7725 our kingH4428? And the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of JudahH3063 were fiercerH7185 than the wordsH1697 of the menH376 of IsraelH3478. {despise…: Heb. set us at light}
ManyH7227 are the afflictionsH7451 of the righteousH6662: but the LORDH3068 deliverethH5337 him out of them all.
Certain menH582, the childrenH1121 of BelialH1100, are gone outH3318 from amongH7130 you, and have withdrawnH5080 the inhabitantsH3427 of their cityH5892, sayingH559, Let us goH3212 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, which ye have not knownH3045; {the children…: or, naughty men}
And it came to pass, when he was comeH935, that he blewH8628 a trumpetH7782 in the mountainH2022 of EphraimH669, and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went downH3381 with him from the mountH2022, and he beforeH6440 them.
SoH7725 when all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the kingH4428 hearkenedH8085 not unto them, the peopleH5971 answeredH1697 the kingH4428, sayingH559, What portionH2506 have we in DavidH1732? neither have we inheritanceH5159 in the sonH1121 of JesseH3448: to your tentsH168, O IsraelH3478: now seeH7200 to thine own houseH1004, DavidH1732. So IsraelH3478 departedH3212 unto their tentsH168.
Now as they were making their heartsH3820 merryH3190, behold, the menH582 of the cityH5892, certainH582 sonsH1121 of BelialH1100, besetH5437 the houseH1004 round aboutH5437, and beatH1849 at the doorH1817, and spakeH559 to the masterH1167 of the houseH1004, the oldH2205 manH376, sayingH559, Bring forthH3318 the manH376 that cameH935 into thine houseH1004, that we may knowH3045 him.
My sonH1121, fearH3372 thou the LORDH3068 and the kingH4428: and meddleH6148 not with them that are given to changeH8138: {them…: Heb. changers}
And kingH4428 RehoboamH7346 took counselH3289 with the oldH2205 men that had stoodH5975 beforeH6440 SolomonH8010 his fatherH1 while he yet livedH2416, sayingH559, WhatH349 counsel giveH3289 ye me to returnH7725 answerH1697 to this peopleH5971?
For their calamityH343 shall riseH6965 suddenlyH6597; and who knowethH3045 the ruinH6365 of them bothH8147?
ButG1161 hisG846 citizensG4177 hatedG3404 himG846, andG2532 sentG649 a messageG4242 afterG3694 himG846, sayingG3004, We willG2309 notG3756 haveG2309 thisG5126 man to reignG936 overG1909 usG2248.
Then answeredH6030 all the wickedH7451 menH376 and men of BelialH1100, of thoseH582 that wentH1980 with DavidH1732, and saidH559, Because they wentH1980 not with us, we will not giveH5414 them ought of the spoilH7998 that we have recoveredH5337, save to every manH376 his wifeH802 and his childrenH1121, that they may lead them awayH5090, and departH3212. {those: Heb. men}
Go not forthH3318 hastilyH4118 to striveH7378, lest thou know not what to doH6213 in the endH319 thereof, when thy neighbourH7453 hath put thee to shameH3637.

AriseH6965, O LORDH3068, disappointH6923 himH6440, cast him downH3766: deliverH6403 my soulH5315 from the wickedH7563, which is thy swordH2719: {disappoint…: Heb. prevent his face} {which is: or, by}
As coalsH6352 are to burning coalsH1513, and woodH6086 to fireH784; so is a contentiousH4079+H4066 manH376 to kindleH2787 strifeH7379.
Art thou not from everlastingH6924, O LORDH3068 my GodH430, mine Holy OneH6918? we shall not dieH4191. O LORDH3068, thou hast ordainedH7760 them for judgmentH4941; and, O mighty GodH6697, thou hast establishedH3245 them for correctionH3198. {mighty…: Heb. rock. established: Heb. founded}
Thou art of purerH2889 eyesH5869 than to beholdH7200 evilH7451, and canstH3201 not lookH5027 on iniquityH5999: wherefore lookestH5027 thou upon them that deal treacherouslyH898, and holdest thy tongueH2790 when the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 the man that is more righteousH6662 than he? {iniquity: or, grievance}
