| וש֨ם נקר֜א א֣יש בלי֗על ושמ֛ו ש֥בע בן־בכר֖י א֣יש ימינ֑י ויתק֣ע בשפ֗ר ו֠יאמר אֽין־ל֨נו ח֜לק בדו֗ד ול֤א נֽחלה־ל֙נו֙ בבן־יש֔י א֥יש לאהל֖יו ישראֽל׃ | 2Sam 20:1 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. |
| וי֜על כל־א֤יש ישראל֙ מאחר֣י דו֔ד אחר֖י ש֣בע בן־בכר֑י וא֤יש יהודה֙ דבק֣ו במלכ֔ם מן־הירד֖ן ועד־ירושלֽם׃ | 2Sam 20:2 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. |
| ויב֨א דו֣ד אל־ביתו֘ ירֽושלם֒ ויק֣ח המ֡לך א֣ת עֽשר־נש֣ים׀ פלגש֡ים אש֣ר הניח֩ לשמ֨ר הב֜ית וֽיתנ֤ם בית־משמ֙רת֙ וֽיכלכל֔ם ואליה֖ם לא־ב֑א ותהי֧ינה צרר֛ות עד־י֥ום מת֖ן אלמנ֥ות חיֽות׃ | 2Sam 20:3 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. |
| וי֤אמר המ֙לך֙ אל־עמש֔א הזעק־ל֥י את־איש־יהוד֖ה של֣שת ימ֑ים ואת֖ה פ֥ה עמֽד׃ | 2Sam 20:4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present. |
| וי֥לך עמש֖א להזע֣יק את־יהוד֑ה וי֕וחר מן־המוע֖ד אש֥ר יעדֽו׃ | 2Sam 20:5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him. |
| וי֤אמר דוד֙ אל־אביש֔י עת֗ה י֧רֽע ל֛נו ש֥בע בן־בכר֖י מן־אבשל֑ום א֠תה ק֞ח את־עבד֤י אדנ֙יך֙ ורד֣ף אחר֔יו פן־מ֥צא ל֛ו ער֥ים בצר֖ות והצ֥יל עינֽנו׃ | 2Sam 20:6 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. |
| ויצא֤ו אֽחריו֙ אנש֣י יוא֔ב והכרת֥י והפלת֖י וכל־הגבר֑ים ויֽצאו֙ מיר֣ושל֔ם לרד֕ף אחר֖י ש֥בע בן־בכרֽי׃ | 2Sam 20:7 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. |
| ה֗ם עם־הא֤בן הגדולה֙ אש֣ר בגבע֔ון ועמש֖א ב֣א לפניה֑ם ויוא֞ב חג֣ור׀ מד֣ו לבש֗ו ועל֞יו חג֥ור ח֙רב֙ מצמ֤דת על־מתניו֙ בתער֔ה וה֥וא יצ֖א ותפֽל׃ | 2Sam 20:8 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. |
| וי֤אמר יואב֙ לעמש֔א השל֥ום את֖ה אח֑י ות֜חז יד־ימ֥ין יוא֛ב בזק֥ן עמש֖א לנשק־לֽו׃ | 2Sam 20:9 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. |
| ועמש֨א לֽא־נשמ֜ר בח֣רב׀ אש֣ר ביד־יוא֗ב ויכהו֩ ב֨ה אל־הח֜מש וישפ֨ך מע֥יו א֛רצה ולא־ש֥נה ל֖ו וימ֑ת ויואב֙ ואביש֣י אח֔יו רד֕ף אחר֖י ש֥בע בן־בכרֽי׃ | 2Sam 20:10 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. |
| ואיש֙ עמ֣ד על֔יו מֽנער֖י יוא֑ב וי֗אמר מי֩ אש֨ר חפ֧ץ ביוא֛ב ומ֥י אשר־לדו֖ד אחר֥י יואֽב׃ | 2Sam 20:11 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. |
| ועמש֛א מתגל֥ל בד֖ם בת֣וך הֽמסל֑ה וי֨רא הא֜יש כֽי־עמ֣ד כל־הע֗ם ויסב֩ את־עמש֨א מן־הֽמסל֤ה השדה֙ וישל֤ך עליו֙ ב֔גד כאש֣ר רא֔ה כל־הב֥א על֖יו ועמֽד׃ | 2Sam 20:12 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. |
| כאש֥ר הג֖ה מן־הֽמסל֑ה עב֤ר כל־איש֙ אחר֣י יוא֔ב לרד֕ף אחר֖י ש֥בע בן־בכרֽי׃ | 2Sam 20:13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. |
| וֽיעב֞ר בכל־שבט֣י ישרא֗ל אב֛לה וב֥ית מעכ֖ה וכל־הבר֑ים ויק֣הל֔ו ויב֖או אף־אחרֽיו׃ | 2Sam 20:14 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. |
| ויב֜או ויצ֣רו על֗יו באב֙לה֙ ב֣ית הֽמעכ֔ה וישפכ֤ו סֽללה֙ אל־הע֔יר וֽתעמ֖ד בח֑ל וכל־העם֙ אש֣ר את־יוא֔ב משחית֖ם להפ֥יל החומֽה׃ | 2Sam 20:15 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. |
| ותקר֛א אש֥ה חכמ֖ה מן־הע֑יר שמע֤ו שמעו֙ אמרו־נ֣א אל־יוא֔ב קר֣ב עד־ה֔נה ואדבר֖ה אלֽיך׃ | 2Sam 20:16 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. |
| ויקר֣ב אל֔יה ות֧אמר האש֛ה האת֥ה יוא֖ב וי֣אמר א֑ני ות֣אמר ל֗ו שמע֙ דבר֣י אמת֔ך וי֖אמר שמ֥ע אנֽכי׃ | 2Sam 20:17 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. |
| ות֖אמר לאמ֑ר דב֨ר ידבר֤ו ברֽאשנה֙ לאמ֔ר שא֧ל ישאל֛ו באב֖ל וכ֥ן התֽמו׃ | 2Sam 20:18 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. |
| אנכ֕י שלמ֖י אמונ֣י ישרא֑ל את֣ה מבק֗ש להמ֨ית ע֤יר ואם֙ בישרא֔ל ל֥מה תבל֖ע נחל֥ת יהוֽה׃ | 2Sam 20:19 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? |
| וי֥ען יוא֖ב ויאמ֑ר חל֤ילה חל֙ילה֙ ל֔י אם־אבל֖ע ואם־אשחֽית׃ | 2Sam 20:20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy. |
| לא־כ֣ן הדב֗ר כ֡י איש֩ מה֨ר אפר֜ים ש֧בע בן־בכר֣י שמ֗ו נש֤א ידו֙ במ֣לך בדו֔ד תנֽו־את֣ו לבד֔ו ואלכ֖ה מע֣ל הע֑יר ות֤אמר הֽאשה֙ אל־יוא֔ב הנ֥ה ראש֛ו משל֥ך אל֖יך בע֥ד החומֽה׃ | 2Sam 20:21 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. |
| ותבוא֩ האש֨ה אל־כל־הע֜ם בחכמת֗ה וֽיכרת֞ו את־ר֨אש ש֤בע בן־בכרי֙ וישל֣כו אל־יוא֔ב ויתקע֙ בשופ֔ר ויפ֥צו מֽעל־הע֖יר א֣יש לאהל֑יו ויוא֛ב ש֥ב ירושל֖ם אל־המֽלך׃ | 2Sam 20:22 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. |
| ויוא֕ב ויוא֕ב א֥ל א֥ל כל־כל־הצב֖א הצב֖א ישרא֑ל ישרא֑ל ובניה֙ ובניה֙ בן־בן־יה֣ויד֔ע יה֣ויד֔ע הכרת֖י על־ועל־הכרת֖י ועל־הפלתֽי׃ הפלתֽי׃ | 2Sam 20:23 Now Joab was over all the host of Israel: and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and over the Pelethites: |
| ואדר֖ם על־המ֑ס ויהושפ֥ט בן־אחיל֖וד המזכֽיר׃ | 2Sam 20:24 And Adoram was over the tribute: and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder: |
| ושו֖א ספ֑ר וצד֥וק ואבית֖ר כהנֽים׃ | 2Sam 20:25 And Sheva was scribe: and Zadok and Abiathar were the priests: |
| וג֗ם עירא֙ הי֣אר֔י הי֥ה כה֖ן לדוֽד׃ | 2Sam 20:26 And Ira also the Jairite was a chief ruler about David. |
