2 Samuel 20:1-2

Sheba’s Revolt

^{Tools
1} Now ^(A)a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of ^(B)Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said,

“^(C)We have no portion in David,
Nor do we have inheritance in ^(D)the son of Jesse;
^(E)Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

^{Tools
2} So all the men of Israel ^(a)withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah ^(b)remained steadfast to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.
