And a man of worthlessness met them there, and his name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a man of Benjamin. And he blew the rams’ horn and said, We have no part in David, and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse; each man to his tents, O Israel.
And all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, and the people sent the king back word, saying, What portion is for us in David? Yea, there is no inheritance in the son of Jesse; to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, O David! And Israel went to its tents.
And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and Zebul his commander? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem! And why should we serve him?
And the anger of Saul burned against Jonathan. And he said to him, Son of a perverse rebelliousness! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your shame, and to the shame of the nakedness of your mother?
And every man in distress, and every man who had a creditor, and every man bitter of soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became commander over them. And about four hundred men were with him.
