So every manh376 of Israelh3478 went uph5927h8799 from afterh310 Davidh1732, and followedh310 Shebah7652 the sonh1121 of Bichrih1075: but the menh376 of Judahh3063 claveh1692h8804 unto their kingh4428, from Jordanh3383 even to Jerusalemh3389.

5

So Amasah6021 wenth3212h8799 to assembleh2199h8687 the men of Judahh3063: but he tarried longerh309h8799h8675h3186h8799 than the set timeh4150 which he had appointedh3259h8804 him. Assemble: Heb. Call

6

And Davidh1732 saidh559h8799 to Abishaih52, Now shall Shebah7652 the sonh1121 of Bichrih1075 do us more harmh3415h8799 than did Absalomh53: takeh3947h8798 thou thy lord'sh113 servantsh5650, and pursueh7291h8798 afterh310 him, lest he geth4672h8804 him fencedh1219h8803 citiesh5892, and escapeh5337h8689 ush5869. escape...: Heb. deliver himself from our eyes

When they were at the greath1419 stoneh68 which is in Gibeonh1391, Amasah6021 wenth935h8804 beforeh6440 them. And Joab'sh3097 garmenth4055 that he had put onh3830 was girdedh2296h8803 unto him, and upon it a girdleh2289 with a swordh2719 fastenedh6775h8794 upon his loinsh4975 in the sheathh8593 thereof; and as he went forthh3318h8804 it fell outh5307h8799.

9

And Joabh3097 saidh559h8799 to Amasah6021, Art thou in healthh7965, my brotherh251? And Joabh3097 tookh270h8799 Amasah6021 by the beardh2206 with the righth3225 handh3027 to kissh5401h8800 him.

10

But Amasah6021 took no heedh8104h8738 to the swordh2719 that was in Joab'sh3097 handh3027: so he smoteh5221h8686 him therewith in the fifthh2570 rib , and shed outh8210h8799 his bowelsh4578 to the groundh776, and struck him not againh8138h8804; and he diedh4191h8799.

12

And Amasah6021 wallowedh1556h8706 in bloodh1818 in the midsth8432 of the highwayh4546. And when the manh376 sawh7200h8799 that all the peopleh5971 stood stillh5975h8804, he removedh5437h8686 Amasah6021 out of the highwayh4546 into the fieldh7704, and casth7993h8686 a clothh899 upon him, when he sawh7200h8804 that every one that cameh935h8802 by him stood stillh5975h8804.

13

When he was removedh3014h8689 out of the highwayh4546, all the peopleh376 went onh5674h8804 afterh310 Joabh3097, to pursueh7291h8800 afterh310 Shebah7652 the sonh1121 of Bichrih1075.

14

And he wenth5674h8799 through all the tribesh7626 of Israelh3478 unto Abelh59, and to Bethmaachahh1038, and all the Beritesh1276: and they were gathered togetherh6950h8735h8675h7035h8735, and wenth935h8799 also afterh310 him.

15

And they cameh935h8799 and besiegedh6696h8799 him in Abelh59 of Bethmaachahh1038, and they cast uph8210h8799 a bankh5550 against the cityh5892, and it stoodh5975h8799 in the trenchh2426: and all the peopleh5971 that were with Joabh3097 batteredh7843h8688 the wallh2346, to throw it downh5307h8687. in the trench: or, against the outmost wall

Then criedh7121h8799 a wiseh2450 womanh802 out of the cityh5892, Hearh8085h8798, hearh8085h8798; sayh559h8798, I pray you, unto Joabh3097, Come nearh7126h8798 hither, that I may speakh1696h8762 with thee.

17

And when he was come nearh7126h8799 unto her, the womanh802 saidh559h8799, Art thou Joabh3097? And he answeredh559h8799, I am he . Then she saidh559h8799 unto him, Hearh8085h8798 the wordsh1697 of thine handmaidh519. And he answeredh559h8799, I do hearh8085h8802.

They were...: or, They plainly spake in the beginning, saying, Surely they will ask of Abel, and so make an end

19

I am one of them that are peaceableh7999h8803 and faithfulh539h8803 in Israelh3478: thou seekesth1245h8764 to destroyh4191h8687 a cityh5892 and a motherh517 in Israelh3478: why wilt thou swallow uph1104h8762 the inheritanceh5159 of the LORDh3068?

20

And Joabh3097 answeredh6030h8799 and saidh559h8799, Far be ith2486, far be ith2486 from me, that I should swallow uph1104h8762 or destroyh7843h8686.

21

The matterh1697 is not so: but a manh376 of mounth2022 Ephraimh669, Shebah7652 the sonh1121 of Bichrih1075 by nameh8034, hath lifted uph5375h8804 his handh3027 against the kingh4428, even against Davidh1732: deliverh5414h8798 him only, and I will departh3212h8799 from the cityh5892. And the womanh802 saidh559h8799 unto Joabh3097, Behold, his headh7218 shall be thrownh7993h8716 to thee overh1157 the wallh2346. by name: Heb. by his name

22

Then the womanh802 wenth935h8799 unto all the peopleh5971 in her wisdomh2451. And they cut offh3772h8799 the headh7218 of Shebah7652 the sonh1121 of Bichrih1075, and casth7993h8686 it out to Joabh3097. And he blewh8628h8799 a trumpeth7782, and they retiredh6327h8799 from the cityh5892, every manh376 to his tenth168. And Joabh3097 returnedh7725h8804 to Jerusalemh3389 unto the kingh4428. retired: Heb. were scattered
