示巴反叛大卫
20 有一个无赖名叫示巴，是便雅悯人比基利的儿子，当时刚好在吉甲。他吹响号角，大喊：“我们与大卫毫无关系，耶西儿子的产业没有我们的份。以色列人啊，各自回家去吧！” 2 于是，以色列人都离开了大卫，跟随了比基利的儿子示巴。但犹大人仍然紧紧跟随他们的王，从约旦河一直来到耶路撒冷。 3 大卫回到耶路撒冷的宫里，把从前留下来看守王宫的十个妃嫔关进冷宫，供养她们，却不再和她们同房。她们像寡妇一样在软禁中度过余生。
4 王对亚玛撒说：“你要在三天内招聚犹大人，跟他们一起来见我。” 5 亚玛撒就去招聚犹大人，但他超过了王所定的期限。 6 大卫对亚比筛说：“现在比基利的儿子示巴对我们带来的危害恐怕比押沙龙还要大。你带领我的部下去捉拿他，免得他占据了坚固的城池，得以逃脱。”
7 于是，约押的部下和基利提人、比利提人以及所有的勇士都跟随亚比筛离开耶路撒冷，去追赶比基利的儿子示巴。 8 他们来到基遍的巨石旁，见亚玛撒迎面而来。约押当时身穿战袍，腰间佩刀，他迎上去的时候，刀从鞘中滑落出来。 9 约押对亚玛撒说：“兄弟，你好吗？”他用右手抓住亚玛撒的胡子，亲吻他。 10 亚玛撒毫无防备，被约押一刀刺入肚子，肚破肠流而死。然后，约押和他兄弟亚比筛继续追赶比基利的儿子示巴。
11 约押的一个部下站在亚玛撒的尸体旁边说：“拥护约押和大卫的人来跟随约押吧！” 12 亚玛撒的尸体倒在路中间的血泊中。那人见众人驻足围观，便把尸体从路上拖到田里，扔了一件衣服盖上。 13 尸体搬走以后，大家都跟随约押去追比基利的儿子示巴。
14 示巴走遍以色列各支派，一直到伯·玛迦的亚比拉城。他的本族比利人都聚集起来跟随他。 15 约押率大军来到伯·玛迦，把示巴围困在亚比拉城内，他们修筑攻城的高台，撞击城墙。 16 有一个聪明的妇人从城上喊：“请听我说！请听我说！请约押到这边来，我有话要对他说。” 17 约押就走上前去，那妇人问道：“你是约押吗？”约押答道：“我就是。”妇人说：“请听婢女说几句。”约押说：“你说吧！” 18 妇人说：“古时候人们常说，‘有事到亚比拉去请教，问题都会解决。’ 19 我们这座城的人在以色列素来热爱和平、忠心耿耿，你却要毁灭这座大城。你为什么要吞掉耶和华的产业？” 20 约押答道：“我根本不想吞掉或毁灭这城。 21 以法莲山区比基利的儿子示巴背叛大卫王，你们只要把他交出来，我就撤退。”那妇人说：“我们一定把他的首级从城上抛下来给你。” 22 妇人把自己的良策告诉众人，他们便把比基利的儿子示巴的头割下来，抛给约押。约押就吹响号角令军队各自回家，自己回耶路撒冷见王。
23 约押负责统率以色列全军；耶何耶大的儿子比拿雅统辖基利提人和比利提人； 24 亚多兰管理服劳役的；亚希律的儿子约沙法担任史官； 25 示法做书记；撒督和亚比亚他任祭司； 26 雅珥人以拉做大卫的祭司。

示巴背叛
20 在那裡恰巧有一個流氓名叫示巴，是便雅憫人比基利的兒子。他吹號角，說：
“我們在大衛的身上無分，
在耶西的兒子身上無干，
以色列人哪！各回自己的帳棚去吧！”
2 於是以色列眾人都上山去，不跟隨大衛，卻跟隨了比基利的兒子示巴；猶大人卻緊緊跟隨他們的王，從約旦河直到耶路撒冷。
3 大衛王回到耶路撒冷自己的宮裡，就把以前留下來看守王宮的那十個妃嬪捉起來，關在禁宮裡。王供養她們，卻不再親近她們。她們被禁閉，過著寡婦一般的生活，直到死的日子。
約押刺殺亞瑪撒
4 王對亞瑪撒說：“你要在三天之內把猶大人召集到我這裡來。你自己也要在這裡。” 5 亞瑪撒就去召集猶大人。他卻耽延，超過了王限定的日期。 6 大衛對亞比篩說：“現在比基利的兒子示巴要加害我們，比押沙龍更甚。你要帶著你主人的僕人去追趕他，免得他找到了設防的城鎮，就避過我們的眼目，從我們的手中逃脫了。” 7 於是約押的人，基利提人、比利提人和所有的勇士，都跟隨亞比篩出去。他們從耶路撒冷出去，追趕比基利的兒子示巴。 8 他們到了基遍的大磐石那裡，亞瑪撒來與他們會合。那時約押穿著戰衣，腰間束著佩刀的帶子，刀在鞘裡。他往前走的時候，刀掉了下來。 9 約押對亞瑪撒說：“我的兄弟，你好嗎？”約押用右手握住亞瑪撒的鬍子，要與他親吻。 10 亞瑪撒沒有防備約押手中的刀，約押用這刀刺進他的肚子，他的內臟就流在地上。不用再刺第二刀，亞瑪撒就死了。約押和他的兄弟亞比篩繼續追趕比基利的兒子示巴。
約押追趕示巴
11 約押的僕從之中，有一個人站在亞瑪撒的屍體旁邊，說：“誰喜歡約押，誰歸順大衛，就當跟隨約押去！” 12 亞瑪撒在大道當中，輥在自己的血裡。那人看見經過的眾人都站住，就把亞瑪撒的屍體從大道上拖到田裡，又扔一件衣服把他蓋住，因為他看見眾人來到亞瑪撒的屍體旁邊都站住。 13 屍體從大道上挪去以後，眾人就都過去，跟隨約押去追趕比基利的兒子示巴。
示巴被殺，叛變結束
14 示巴走遍以色列各支派，直到伯．瑪迦的亞比拉和比利人的全境，他們聚集起來跟隨他。 15 所有跟隨約押的人都來了，把示巴圍困在伯．瑪迦的亞比拉。他們對著城築起攻城的土壘，高度與城的外牆一樣。他們撞擊城牆，要把城牆撞倒。 16 有一個聰明的婦人在城牆上呼叫：“請聽！請聽！請你們對約押說：‘請你走近這裡，我有話對你說。’” 17 約押走近婦人那裡，婦人問：“你是約押嗎？”他回答：“我是。”婦人對他說：“請聽婢女的話！”他說：“我正在聽！” 18 婦人說：“古時人常說：‘只要在亞比拉求問，事就必成全。’ 19 我在以色列中是和平信實的人，你卻設法毀滅這座以色列的母城。你為甚麼要吞滅耶和華的產業呢？” 20 約押回答：“絕對不會！我絕對不會吞滅，也不會毀壞。 21 事情不是這樣的；只因以法蓮山地有一個人名叫示巴，是比基利的兒子，他舉手攻擊大衛王。你們只要把他一人交出來，我就離開這城。”婦人對約押說：“看哪！那人的頭必從這城牆上丟給你。” 22 婦人就憑她的智慧去見眾人，他們就把比基利的兒子示巴的頭砍下來，丟給約押；約押吹號角，眾人就離城散開，各回自己的家去了。約押也回耶路撒冷去見王。
大衛的重要臣僕
23 約押作以色列所有軍隊的統帥。耶何耶大的兒子比拿雅統轄基利提人和比利提人； 24 亞多蘭管理作苦工的人。亞希律的兒子約沙法作史官； 25 示法作書記。撒督和亞比亞他作祭司長； 26 睚珥人以拉也作大衛的祭司。

Sheba Rebels Against David
20 Now a troublemaker named Sheba son of Bikri, a Benjamite, happened to be there. He sounded the trumpet and shouted,
2 So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow Sheba son of Bikri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
3 When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the ten concubines(D) he had left to take care of the palace and put them in a house under guard. He provided for them but had no sexual relations with them. They were kept in confinement till the day of their death, living as widows.
4 Then the king said to Amasa,(E) “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.” 5 But when Amasa went to summon Judah, he took longer than the time the king had set for him.
6 David said to Abishai,(F) “Now Sheba son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master’s men and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and escape from us.”[a] 7 So Joab’s men and the Kerethites(G) and Pelethites and all the mighty warriors went out under the command of Abishai. They marched out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
8 While they were at the great rock in Gibeon,(H) Amasa came to meet them. Joab(I) was wearing his military tunic, and strapped over it at his waist was a belt with a dagger in its sheath. As he stepped forward, it dropped out of its sheath.
9 Joab said to Amasa, “How are you, my brother?” Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. 10 Amasa was not on his guard against the dagger(J) in Joab’s(K) hand, and Joab plunged it into his belly, and his intestines spilled out on the ground. Without being stabbed again, Amasa died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
11 One of Joab’s men stood beside Amasa and said, “Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!” 12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt(L) there. When he realized that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him. 13 After Amasa had been removed from the road, everyone went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
14 Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel Beth Maakah and through the entire region of the Bikrites,[b](M) who gathered together and followed him. 15 All the troops with Joab came and besieged Sheba in Abel Beth Maakah.(N) They built a siege ramp(O) up to the city, and it stood against the outer fortifications. While they were battering the wall to bring it down, 16 a wise woman(P) called from the city, “Listen! Listen! Tell Joab to come here so I can speak to him.” 17 He went toward her, and she asked, “Are you Joab?”
“I am,” he answered.
She said, “Listen to what your servant has to say.”
“I’m listening,” he said.
18 She continued, “Long ago they used to say, ‘Get your answer at Abel,’ and that settled it. 19 We are the peaceful(Q) and faithful in Israel. You are trying to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why do you want to swallow up the Lord’s inheritance?”(R)
20 “Far be it from me!” Joab replied, “Far be it from me to swallow up or destroy! 21 That is not the case. A man named Sheba son of Bikri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Hand over this one man, and I’ll withdraw from the city.”
The woman said to Joab, “His head(S) will be thrown to you from the wall.”
22 Then the woman went to all the people with her wise advice,(T) and they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bikri and threw it to Joab. So he sounded the trumpet, and his men dispersed from the city, each returning to his home. And Joab went back to the king in Jerusalem.
David’s Officials
23 Joab(U) was over Israel’s entire army; Benaiah son of Jehoiada was over the Kerethites and Pelethites; 24 Adoniram[c](V) was in charge of forced labor; Jehoshaphat(W) son of Ahilud was recorder; 25 Sheva was secretary; Zadok(X) and Abiathar were priests; 26 and Ira the Jairite[d] was David’s priest.

King James Version
2 Samuel 20
King James Version
20 And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.
2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Bethmaachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
16 Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.
17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
19 I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
23 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites:
24 And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder:
25 And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests:
26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David.
