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 AbrahamH85 drew nearH5066, and saidH559, Wilt thou also destroyH5595 the righteousH6662 withH5973 the wickedH7563?
The inhabitants of the villagesH6520 ceasedH2308, they ceasedH2308 in IsraelH3478, until that I DeborahH1683 aroseH6965, that I aroseH6965 a motherH517 in IsraelH3478.
Now therefore sendH7971 quicklyH4120, and tellH5046 DavidH1732, sayingH559, LodgeH3885 not this nightH3915 in the plainsH6160+H5679 of the wildernessH4057, but speedilyH5674 pass overH5674; lest the kingH4428 be swallowed upH1104, and all the peopleH5971 that are with him.
Wherefore DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the GibeonitesH1393, What shall I doH6213 for you? and wherewith shall I make the atonementH3722, that ye may blessH1288 the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068?
ForG1063 rulersG758 areG1526 notG3756 a terrorG5401 to goodG18 worksG2041, butG235 to the evilG2556. Wilt thouG2309 thenG1161 notG3361 be afraidG5399 of the powerG1849? doG4160 that which is goodG18, andG2532 thou shalt haveG2192 praiseG1868 ofG1537 the sameG846:
Thou art thy mother'sH517 daughterH1323, that lothethH1602 her husbandH376 and her childrenH1121; and thou art the sisterH269 of thy sistersH269, which lothedH1602 their husbandsH582 and their childrenH1121: your motherH517 was an HittiteH2850, and your fatherH1 an AmoriteH567.
And thine elderH1419 sisterH269 is SamariaH8111, she and her daughtersH1323 that dwellH3427 at thy left handH8040: and thy youngerH6996 sisterH269, that dwellethH3427 at thy right handH3225, is SodomH5467 and her daughtersH1323. {thy younger: Heb. lesser than thou}
Yet hast thou not walkedH1980 after their waysH1870, nor doneH6213 after their abominationsH8441: but, as if that were a veryH6985 littleH4592+H6962 thing, thou wast corruptedH7843 more than theyH2004 in all thy waysH1870. {as if…: or, that was lothed as a small thing}
As I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, SodomH5467 thy sisterH269 hath not doneH6213, she nor her daughtersH1323, as thou hast doneH6213, thou and thy daughtersH1323.
Behold, this was the iniquityH5771 of thy sisterH269 SodomH5467, prideH1347, fulnessH7653 of breadH3899, and abundanceH7962 of idlenessH8252 was in her and in her daughtersH1323, neither did she strengthenH2388 the handH3027 of the poorH6041 and needyH34.
And the earthH776 openedH6605 her mouthH6310, and swallowed them upH1104, and their housesH1004, and all the menH120 that appertained unto KorahH7141, and all their goodsH7399.
Now therefore, if ye will obeyH8085 my voiceH6963 indeedH8085, and keepH8104 my covenantH1285, then ye shall be a peculiar treasureH5459 unto me above all peopleH5971: for all the earthH776 is mine:
ForG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316 to theeG4671 forG1519 goodG18. ButG1161 ifG1437 thou doG4160 that which is evilG2556, be afraidG5399; forG1063 he bearethG5409 notG3756 the swordG3162 in vainG1500: forG1063 he isG2076 the ministerG1249 of GodG2316, a revengerG1558 to execute wrathG3709 uponG1519 him that doethG4238 evilG2556.
And the earthH776 openedH6605 her mouthH6310, and swallowed them upH1104 together with KorahH7141, when that companyH5712 diedH4194, what time the fireH784 devouredH398 two hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376: and they became a signH5251.
And ye shall be unto me a kingdomH4467 of priestsH3548, and an holyH6918 nationH1471. These are the wordsH1697 which thou shalt speakH1696 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
ForG5228 kingsG935, andG2532 for allG3956 that areG5607 inG1722 authorityG5247; thatG2443 we may leadG1236 a quietG2263 andG2532 peaceableG2272 lifeG979 inG1722 allG3956 godlinessG2150 andG2532 honestyG4587. {authority: or, eminent place}
ThenH233 they had swallowed us upH1104 quickH2416, when their wrathH639 was kindledH2734 against us:
For the LORD'SH3068 portionH2506 is his peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the lotH2256 of his inheritanceH5159. {lot: Heb. cord}
NebuchadrezzarH5019 the kingH4428 of BabylonH894 hath devouredH398 me, he hath crushedH2000 me, he hath madeH3322 me an emptyH7385 vesselH3627, he hath swallowed me upH1104 like a dragonH8577, he hath filledH4390 his bellyH3770 with my delicatesH5730, he hath cast me outH1740.
Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lordH113 the kingH4428 hearH8085 the wordsH1697 of his servantH5650. If the LORDH3068 have stirred thee upH5496 against me, let him acceptH7306 an offeringH4503: but if they be the childrenH1121 of menH120, cursedH779 be they beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; for they have drivenH1644 me out this dayH3117 from abidingH5596 in the inheritanceH5159 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, GoH3212, serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430. {accept: Heb. smell} {abiding: Heb. cleaving}
And I will punishH6485 BelH1078 in BabylonH894, and I will bring forthH3318 out of his mouthH6310 that which he hath swallowed upH1105: and the nationsH1471 shall not flow togetherH5102 any more unto him: yea, the wallH2346 of BabylonH894 shall fallH5307.
The LordH136 hath swallowed upH1104 all the habitationsH4999 of JacobH3290, and hath not pitiedH2550: he hath thrown downH2040 in his wrathH5678 the strong holdsH4013 of the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063; he hath brought them downH5060 to the groundH776: he hath pollutedH2490 the kingdomH4467 and the princesH8269 thereof. {brought…: Heb. made to touch}
The LordH136 was as an enemyH341: he hath swallowed upH1104 IsraelH3478, he hath swallowed upH1104 all her palacesH759: he hath destroyedH7843 his strong holdsH4013, and hath increasedH7235 in the daughterH1323 of JudahH3063 mourningH8386 and lamentationH592.
All thine enemiesH341 have openedH6475 their mouthH6310 against thee: they hissH8319 and gnashH2786 the teethH8127: they sayH559, We have swallowed her upH1104: certainlyH389 this is the dayH3117 that we looked forH6960; we have foundH4672, we have seenH7200 it.
