1Now aa worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of bBichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said,

Nor do we have inheritance in dthe son of Jesse;
eEvery man to his tents, O Israel!”
2So all the men of Israel 1withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah 2remained steadfast to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

There happened to be a troublemaker there named Sheba son of Bicri, a man from the tribe of Benjamin. Sheba blew a ram’s horn and began to chant:
“Down with the dynasty of David!
We have no interest in the son of Jesse.
Come on, you men of Israel,
back to your homes!”
So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of Bicri. But the men of Judah stayed with their king and escorted him from the Jordan River to Jerusalem.
