サムエル記Ⅱ 20:13 JCB

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Samuel 20:1-13

Pursuing Another Rebel 2 Samuel 20:1-13 Like Shimei, Sheba belonged to the tribe of Benjamin. The old Saul-faction was always breaking out in rebellion, and Nathan’s prediction that the sword would never cease from David’s house was literally fulfilled. We must always watch against the return of our old sins. Amasa’s appointment was a mistake. He had already proved his incompetence under Absalom, and now his delay threatened disaster. David had chosen him only because he wished, at any cost,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

The occasion invariably finds the man for evil as well as for good. Sheba seized the strife between Judah and Israel as an opportunity to attempt to divide the kingdom. David's hosts went forth against Israel. Once more Joab appears on the scene, and the same relentless ferocity was manifested in his murder of Amasa, coupled with continued loyalty to David, as he proceeded to quell the insurrection. This was accomplished through the wisdom of a woman by the death of Sheba. Thus David was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 20:10-25

The Pursuit And Death of Sheba And Establishment Of The Kingdom (2 Samuel 20:10-25 ). The pursuit of Sheba now went on relentlessly as David’s elite troops, ably led by Joab and Abishai, came up to Abel where Sheba and his men had taken refuge, having no doubt learned of the approaching forces. Sheba was aware that he had not yet had time to gather sufficient forces to meet them head on. For the men of Israel may angrily have returned home in response to his call, but it was clear that on the... read more

1 Samuel 20. The Revolt of Sheba (J). 2 Samuel 20:1 f. The result of this altercation was a fresh rebellion under a Benjamite, Sheba ben Bichri. 2 Samuel 20:3 .

CRITICAL AND EXPOSITORY NOTES.—2 Samuel 20:3. “Living in widowhood.” Lit. In widowhood of life. Probably meaning so long as their lifetime, or it may mean during the lifetime of David. “They were not divorced, for they were guiltless; but they were no longer publicly recognised as David’s wives; nor was their confinement to a sequestered life a very heavy doom in a region where women have never been accustomed to go much abroad.” (Jamieson).2 Samuel 20:4. “Said to Amasa.” Thus appointing him to... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

Chapter 20But in chapter twenty, this division is manifested by this particular fellow by the name of Sheba, who is of the tribe of Benjamin. And he blew a trumpet in Israel, which was always a signal gathering people to his cause.He said, We have no part with David, nor of the son of Jesse: every man to your tent, O Israel. [In other words he was calling for a rebellion against David.] And so every man of Israel left David, and went up to follow Sheba: but the men of Judah stuck with their... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 20:1-26

2 Samuel 20:1 . Sheba, a Benjamite, and a captain high in command under Absalom, in whose heart the embers of revolt were still burning. This man, seeing the anger of the tribes at not being called to bring back the king, took occasion to excite fresh revolt. The events seem to be fortuitous, but providence overruled them to teach David to depend on God, and not on man; to purge his kingdom of rebels, and to remind him of the innocent blood of the brave Uriah. 2 Samuel 20:3 . Ten... read more
