2 Samuel 20:2New Messianic Version BibleSo every man of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] went up from after David [beloved], [and] followed Sheva [Seven] the son of Bikhri [youthful]: but the men of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] clave unto their king, from Yarden [Descender] even to Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]. See the chapter |
And there happened to be there a man of Belial [Worthless, Good for Nothing], whose name [was] Sheva [Seven], the son of Bikhri [youthful], from the tribe of Binyamin [A Son of the Right Hand]: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David [beloved], neither have we inheritance in the son of Yishai [I possess]: every man to his tents, O Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
And David [beloved] came to his house at Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]; and the king took the ten women [his] concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward (in custody, with a guard; prison), and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
The matter [is] not so: but a man of mount Efrayim [Doubly Fruitful], Sheva [Seven] the son of Bikhri [youthful] by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, [even] against David [beloved]: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Yo’av [Yehovah is father], Behold, his head shall be thrown to youi over the wall.
And it came to pass, when all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] heard that Yarov’am [the people will contend] was come again, that they sent and called him unto the congregation, and made him king over all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: there was none that followed the house of David [beloved], but the tribe of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] only.
