He was Bicri&#8217;s son, from Benjamin&#8217;s tribe. 20:1 Sheba was probably a relative of King Saul. He liked to cause trouble. He made a noise with a trumpet and he shouted, \u2018We will not follow David the son of Jesse. Men from Israel, we should return to our homes.\u2019 2So the Israelites left David and they went with Sheba. But the men from Judah stayed with David and they followed him. They were all the people who lived in places from the River Jordan to Jerusalem. David keeps his ladies safe 3David returned to the king&#8217;s house in Jerusalem. Then he took the 10 lady friends. They had stayed there when he left Jerusalem. Now he shut them away safely in a special house. People were watching them carefully. He gave to them all that they needed. But he did not sleep with them. They stayed there. And they lived like widows until they died. David sends Amasa to fetch all the men from Judah 4The king spoke to Amasa. \u2018Bring all the men from Judah to me here during the next three days. And come with them yourself.\u2019 5Amasa went to fetch them but he was away for more than three days. 20:5 Amasa was the new leader of David&#8217;s army. He was one of Joab&#8217;s relatives. 6David said to Abishai, \u2018Now Bicri&#8217;s son, Sheba, will cause us more trouble than Absalom. Take my men and go after him. If you do not catch him they may hide in towns with strong walls. He might get away from us.\u2019 7So Abishai took Joab&#8217;s men, the Pelethites and the Kerethites and all the king&#8217;s soldiers with him. They marched out from Jerusalem to find Sheba. 8Amasa came to meet them at the big rock in Gibeon. Joab was dressed for the fight and a sword was hanging from his belt. It fell out of its place as Joab went towards Amasa. Joab kills Amasa 9Joab said to Amasa, \u2018How are you my brother?\u2019 And he took Amasa by his beard with his right hand to kiss him. 10But Amasa did not see the sword in Joab&#8217;s other hand. Then Joab pushed it completely into Amasa&#8217;s stomach. All his inside parts fell out on the ground and he died immediately. Joab did not have to hit him again. Then Joab and his brother Abishai went on. They were following after Sheba. 11A man stood by Amasa&#8217;s dead body. The man belonged to Joab&#8217;s soldiers. He shouted, \u2018Everyone who wants to follow David, follow Joab!\u2019 12Amasa&#8217;s dead body was in the road, covered in his blood. Everyone who saw him stopped there. The man had seen that they stopped. So he pulled the dead body into a field and he covered it with a cloth. 13After he had taken Amasa&#8217;s dead body from the road, the men went on with Joab. They were going after Sheba the son of Bicri. They find Sheba and people kill him to save their city 14Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel Beth Maacah. <a>20:14<\/a> The city called Abel Beth Maacah was over 160 kilometres (100 miles) north of Jerusalem. It was near the city called Dan, which was at the north end of Israel. All Bicri&#8217;s family came together and they followed him into the city. 15Some people told Joab&#8217;s men that Sheba was there. So they went and they stood all round the city. They built the ground up high near to its walls. And they dug under the walls to cause them to fall down. 16A wise woman shouted to them from the wall. \u2018Listen, listen. Ask Joab to come here so that I can speak to him,\u2019 she said. 17He went towards her. \u2018Are you Joab?\u2019 she asked. \u2018I am,\u2019 he answered. \u2018Listen to what I have to say,\u2019 she said. \u2018I am listening,\u2019 he replied. 18Then she said, \u2018A long time ago, people said, \u201cGet your answer at the city called Abel.\u201d And that is what they did. 19We are a peaceful city that is faithful to Israel. Do you want to destroy such an important city? Why do you want to destroy a city that belongs to the Lord?\u2019 20\u2018I would never do that!\u2019 Joab answered. \u2018I would never hurt or destroy your city. 21That is not what we want. But a man called Sheba, son of Bicri, has come there from the hills of Ephraim. He has turned against King David. If you will give me this one man, I will leave your city. I will not destroy it.\u2019 The woman said to Joab, \u2018I will throw his head to you from the wall.\u2019 22Then the woman went to all the people in the city. She told them why they should kill Sheba. So they cut off Sheba&#8217;s head and they threw it to Joab. Then he made a noise with his trumpet and all his men left the city. Each of them went to his home. Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem. David&#8217;s officers 23Joab was the officer who led all Israel&#8217;s army. Jehoiada&#8217;s son led the Pelethites and the Kerethites who kept David safe. 24Adoniram ruled over the men that had to work for the king. Ahilud&#8217;s son Jehoshaphat wrote down all that the king did. 25Sheva was another writer, and Zadok and Abiathar were priests. 26Ira from the town called Jair was a priest for David. Psalms 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good! God blesses people who turn to him to keep them safe. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa2dvU2FaVklUbENpWUR4ZC00d3hwLWdjLTRrQXxBQ3Jtc0trc1BsamRtSEFscl9EVE9nRDVMZjduTkxmbUlvWmZsWWRTY19kYnAyTjhLVktlSk1kblU2RnJhNUxWVnI1VVhCRkdxRVRsOEhJbHFLdm9JOXFsOTVQejlXNzBwX2dsb0VkY3lzS1VtTEY4ZjFSZi1kNA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ftemtube.com%2F&amp;v=ZpLqR6pY-fM\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/temtube.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2 Samuel 20 Sheba causes trouble for David 1A man called Sheba was in Gilgal.
