2 Samuel 20:1-2
1599 Geneva Bible
20 1 Sheba raiseth Israel against David. 10 Joab killeth Amasa traitorously. 22 The head of Sheba is delivered to Joab. 23 David’s chief officers.
1 Then there was come [a]thither a wicked man (named Sheba the son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin) and he blew the trumpet, and said, We have no part in [b]David, neither have we inheritance in the son [c]of Ishai: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 So every man of Israel went from David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave fast unto their King, from [d]Jordan even to Jerusalem.
