2 Samuel 20 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

So all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of Israel ^H3478 [fn]withdrew ^H5927 from following ^H310 David ^H1732 and followed ^H310 Sheba ^H7652 the son ^H1121 of Bichri ^H1075; but the men ^H376 of Judah ^H3063 [fn]remained ^H1692 loyal ^H1692 to their king ^H4428, from the Jordan ^H3383 even to Jerusalem ^H3389.

Then David ^H1732 came ^H935 to his house ^H1004 in Jerusalem ^H3389, and the king ^H4428 took ^H3947 the ten ^H6235 women ^H802, the concubines ^H6370 whom ^H834 he had left ^H5117 behind ^H5117 to take ^H8104 care ^H8104 of the house ^H1004, and put ^H5414 them in custody ^H1004 H4931 and provided ^H3557 them with ^H3557 food ^H3557, but did not [fn]have ^H935 relations ^H935 with ^H935 them. So they were locked ^H6887 up ^H6887 until ^H5704 the day ^H3117 of their death ^H4191, living ^H2424 as widows ^H491.

Now the king ^H4428 said ^H559 to Amasa ^H6021, “Summon ^H2199 the men ^H376 of Judah ^H3063 for me within three ^H7969 days ^H3117, and be present ^H5975 here ^H6311 yourself ^H859.”

Now he went ^H5674 on ^H5674 through all ^H3605 the tribes ^H7626 of Israel ^H3478 to Abel ^H59, that is, Beth-maacah ^H1038, and all ^H3605 the Berites ^H1276; and they assembled ^H6950 and went ^H935 after ^H310 him as well ^H637.

Now Joab ^H3097 was in command of the entire ^H3605 army ^H6635 of Israel ^H3478, and Benaiah ^H1141 the son ^H1121 of Jehoiada ^H3077 was over ^H5921 the Cherethites ^H3774 and the Pelethites ^H6432;
