Who is abimelech

But Nabal answered David’s servants and said, “Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.

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.

Hamor

When Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her by force.
