International Standard Version
Sheba’s Rebellion
20 Right about then, Bichri’s son Sheba, an ungodly man[a] from the tribe of Benjamin, sounded a battle trumpet and announced:
We’ve never been a part of David!
We’ll never gain anything from Jesse’s son!
It’s every man to his tent, Israel!
2 So all of the other Israeli soldiers[b] abandoned David to follow Bichri’s son Sheba, while the army of Judah remained with the king all the way from the Jordan River[c] to Jerusalem.
