Bible References

Every man

Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said,
“We have no portion in David,
Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse;

Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,
“What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse;

To your tents, O Israel!

Now look after your own house, David!”
So Israel departed to their tents.

Then a cry passed throughout the army close to sunset, saying, “Every man to his city and every man to his country.”

And in the devastation which will come from afar?

To whom will you flee for help?

And where will you leave your wealth?
