1 A troublemaker from the tribe of Benjamin was there. His name was Sheba the son of Bichri, and he blew a trumpet to get everyone’s attention. Then he said, “People of Israel, David the son of Jesse doesn’t belong to us! Let’s go home.”

2 So they stopped following David and went off with Sheba. But the people of Judah stayed close to David all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
