And David said to Abishai, "Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us."

So Joab's men, with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

When he was removed from the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

"That [is] not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has raised his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city." So the woman said to Joab, "Watch, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

And the king said to Amasa, "Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

And he looked up at the window, and said, "Who [is] on my side? Who?" So two [or] three eunuchs looked out at him.
