Chap. XX.
Seba raiseth rebellion, is pursued by Ioab, (10. VVho in the way trecherously
killeth Amasa,) 13. Abela is besieged, because Seba saueth him self there.
20. but his head being cut of and cast ouer the wal to Ioab, the armie departeth.
23. Chief men in office are mentioned.
1 It chanced also that there was there a man of Belial,
named Seba, the sonne of Bochri, a man of Iemini: and
he sounded the trumpet, and sayd: We haue no part in Dauid,
nor inheritance in the sonne of Isai: Returne into thy tabernacles
Israel.
2 And al Israel was separated from Dauid, and
folowed Seba the sonne of Bochri: but the men of Iuda
stucke to their king from Iordan vnto Ierusalem.
3 And
when the king was come into his house to Ierusalem, he
tooke the ten wemen his concubines, which he had leift to
keepe the house, and he deliuered them into custodie, allowing
them victuals: and he went not in vnto them, but they
were shut vp vntil the day of their death liuing in widowhood.
4 And the king sayd to Amasa: Cal me together al the
-- --
Dauid.
men of Iuda agaynst the third day, and be thou present.
5 Amasa therfore went to cal together Iuda, and taryed
beyond the time appoynted which the king had assigned
him.
6 And Dauid sayd to Abisai: Now wil Seba the sonne
of Bochri more afflict vs, then Absalom: take therefore the
seruantes of thy Lord, and pursew him, lest perhaps he finde
fensed cities, & escape vs.
7 There went forth therfore with
him Ioabs men, Cerethi also and Phelethi: and al the strong
men yssued forth of Ierusalem to pursew Seba the sonne of
Bochri.
8 And when they were beside the great stone, which
is in Gabaon, Amasa coming mette them. Moreouer Ioab
was clothed with a strayte cote according to the measure of
his stature, and vpon it girded with a sword hanging downe
to the flanke, in a scabbarde, which being made for the purpose
could with light mouing come forth and strike.
9 Ioab
therfore sayd to Amasa: God saue thee my brother. And he
held with his right hand the chinne of Amasa, as it were kissing
him.
10 But Amasa marked not the sword, which Ioab
had, who strick him in the side, and powred out his bowels
on the ground, neither added he the second wound, and he
dyed. And Ioab, and Abisai his brother pursewed Seba the
sonne of Bochri.
11 In the meane time certayne men, when
they stoode by the carcasse of Amasa, Ioabs company, sayd:
Loe he that would haue beene for Ioab the companion of
Dauid.
12 And Amasa embrewed with bloud, lay in the middes
of the way. A certayne man saw this that al the people stayed
to see him, and he remoued Amasa out of the way into the
filde, and couered him with a garment, that they which
passed might not stay because of him.
13 He therefore being
remoued out of the way, euery man passed folowing Ioab to
pursew Seba the sonne of Bochri.
14 Moreouer he had passed
through al the tribes of Israel vnto Abela, and Bethmaaca:
and al the chosen men were gathered together vnto him.
15 They therfore came, and assaulted him in Abela, and in
Bethmaaca, and they compassed the citie with munitions,
and the citie was besieged: and al the multitude, that was
with Ioab, laboured to destroy the walles.
16 And a wise
woman cryed out from the citie: Heare ye, heare ye, tel Ioab:
Approche hither, and I wil speake with thee.
17 Who when
he was come to her, she sayd to him: Art thou Ioab? And he
answered, I am. To whom she spake thus: Heare the wordes
-- --
Dauid.
of thy handmayd. Who answered: I doe heare.
18 And she
agayne sayd: A saying was vsed in the old prouerbe: They
that aske, let them aske in Abela: and so they prospered.
19 Am not I she that answer truth in Israel, and thou seekest
to subuert the citie, & to ouerthrowe a mother citie in Israel?
Why throwest thou downe hedlong the inheritance of our
Lord?
20 And Ioab answering, sayd: God forbid, God forbid
that I should, I do not throw downe, nor destroy.
21 The
matter is not so, but a man of mount Ephraim, Seba the sonne
of Bochri by name, hath lifted vp his hand agaynst king
Dauid: Deliuer him onlie, and we wil depart from the citie.
And the woman sayd to Ioab: Behold his head shal be
throwen to thee of the wal.
22 She therfore went to al the
people, and spake to them wisely: who threw the head of
Seba the sonne of Bochri being cut of, to Ioab. And he sounded
the trumpet, and they departed from the citie, euery one
into their tabernacles: and Ioab returned to Ierusalem vnto
the king.
23 Ioab therfore was ouer al the armie of Israel: and
Banaias the sonne of Ioiada ouer the Cheretheites and Phelethcites.
24 But Aduram ouer the tributes: moreouer Iosaphat
the sonne of Ahilud, was register.
25 And Siua, a scribe:
and Sadoc and Abiathar, priestes.
26 And Ira the Iaitite was
the note priest of Dauid.
