Löydetty 1010 Tulokset: David And Sheba
Shimei son of Gera, the Benjaminite of Bahurim, hurried down with the men of Judah to meet King David. (2 Samuel 19, 17)
To which David replied, 'What concern is my business to you, sons of Zeruiah, that you should oppose my wishes today? Could anyone be put to death in Israel today? Today I know for sure that I am king of Israel?' (2 Samuel 19, 23)
All the men of Israel then came to the king. 'Why', they asked the king, 'have our brothers, the men of Judah, carried you off and brought the king and his family across the Jordan, and all David's men with him?' (2 Samuel 19, 42)
Now there happened to be a scoundrel there called Sheba son of Bichri, a Benjaminite, who sounded the trumpet and shouted: We have no share in David, we have no heritage in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, O Israel! (2 Samuel 20, 1)
At this all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stuck close to their king, from the Jordan all the way to Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 20, 2)
David returned to his palace in Jerusalem. The king took the ten concubines, whom he had left to look after the palace, and put them under guard. He provided for their upkeep but never went near them again; they were shut away until the day they died, widows, as it were, of a living man. (2 Samuel 20, 3)
Amasa went off to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time fixed by David. (2 Samuel 20, 5)
David then said to Abishai, 'Sheba son of Bichri is now in a position to do us more damage even than Absalom. Take your master's retainers and be after him, before he can reach any fortified towns and elude us.' (2 Samuel 20, 6)
Joab, the Cherethites, the Pelethites and all the champions took the field under Abishai, setting off from Jerusalem in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri. (2 Samuel 20, 7)
Amasa paid no attention to the sword, which Joab had now picked up, and Joab struck him with it in the belly, spilling his entrails all over the ground. He did not need to strike a second blow; and Amasa died, while Joab and Abishai hurried on in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri. (2 Samuel 20, 10)
One of Joab's men stood on guard beside Amasa, shouting, 'Whoever is on Joab's side, whoever is for David, follow Joab!' (2 Samuel 20, 11)
Once Amasa had been taken off the road, the men all carried on, following Joab in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri. (2 Samuel 20, 13)
