3CHAPTER XXVII.THE INSURRECTION OF SHEBA.2 Samuel 19:41-43; 2 Samuel 20:1-26.DAVID was now virtually restored to his kingdom; but he had not even left Gilgal when fresh troubles began. The jealousy between Judah and Israel broke out in spite of him. The cause of complaint was on the part of the ten tribes; they were offended at not having been waited for to take part in escorting the king to Jerusalem. First, the men of Israel, in harsh language, accused the men of Judah of having stolen the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

Satan is always ready to take advantage of such occasions among God's people, and he had a man there of worthless, ambitious character, Sheba, the son of Bichri was actually a Benjamite, not from any of the other ten tribes, but he saw an opportunity to exalt himself. Blowing a trumpet, he made the bold declaration, "We have no part in David, nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, 0 Israel!" Since the Israelites were already incensed against Judah, Sheba's... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

BRINGING BACK THE KING AN OVERZEALOUS SE RV ANT (2 Samuel 19:1-8 ) Joab was to David what Bismarck was to King William. He had the same iron in his blood, but sometimes, like the latter, he overdid things. The kaiser was glad to be rid of Bismarck, and Joab’s conduct towards David is preparing the way for his successor. Those were too strong words he used in 2 Samuel 19:7 , and show the power he assumed over the army. A BACKWARD PEOPLE (2 Samuel 19:9-15 ) Judah, the king’s tribe,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

2 Samuel 20:0 FROM the conclusion of the nineteenth chapter we learn that the tribe of Judah, being deeply moved by the course which David had pursued, and full of affection towards the king, had united generally in completing his restoration. The other tribes who had proposed to return to their allegiance probably had not had time to take part in the present action, or may indeed have been almost wholly ignorant of it, which gave Shimei, with his one thousand Benjamites and some others, an... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Samuel 20:11-13

(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 everyone 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. We... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 20:4-13

4-13 Joab barbarously murdered Amasa. The more plot there is in a sin, the worse it is. Joab contentedly sacrificed the interest both of the king and the kingdom to his personal revenge. But one would wonder with what face a murderer could pursue a traitor; and how, under such a load of guilt, he had courage to enter upon danger: his conscience was seared. read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Samuel 20:1-13

The Murder of Amasa v. 1. And there happened to be there a man of Belial, a vain and worthless scoundrel, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite, evidently one of the rabid party of Saul; and he blew a trumpet, as a call to all those who thought as he did on account of the strained relations between Judah and Israel, and said, we have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse, the northern tribes had nothing in common with him, nothing to do with him; ... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

For the Chapter 20 passage and footnotes, see 1 Samuel 19:1 ff.2 Samuel 20:1-22. Sheba’s insurrection, Israel’s defection, both quelled by Joab.2 Samuel 20:1. There was1 there, namely, in Gilgal at the assembly of the tribes; the word “there” indicates directly the place, indirectly the time of the following history, so that the causal connection between it and the preceding scene is obvious. On the person of Sheba, Luther remarks (probably correctly) in his marginal notes: “he was one of the... read more
