And there happened to be there a man of Belial, whose name[ was] Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to his tents, O Israel.

Wisdom strengtheneth the wise more than ten mighty[ men] which are in the city.

This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it[ seemed] great unto me:[ There was] a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.Then said I, Wisdom[ is] better than strength: nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom[ is] despised, and his words are not heard.The words of wise[ men are] heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.Wisdom[ is] better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.

And afterward when David heard[ it], he said, I and my kingdom[ are] guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.And David said to Joab, and to all the people that[ were] with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David[ himself] followed the bier.And they buried Abner in Hebron: and the king lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?Thy hands[ were] not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men,[ so] fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.And all the people took notice[ of it], and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?And I[ am] this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah[ be] too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

And David sent to Joab,[ saying], Send me Uriah the Hittite. And Joab sent Uriah to David.And when Uriah was come unto him, David demanded[ of him] how Joab did, and how the people did, and how the war prospered.And David said to Uriah, Go down to thy house, and wash thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the king’s house, and there followed him a mess[ of meat] from the king.But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.And when they had told David, saying, Uriah went not down unto his house, David said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from[ thy] journey? why[ then] didst thou not go down unto thine house?And Uriah said unto David, The ark, and Israel, and Judah, abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord, are encamped in the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to lie with my wife?[ as] thou livest, and[ as] thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and tomorrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house.And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent[ it] by the hand of Uriah.And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men[ were].And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell[ some] of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.

Then cried a wise woman out of the city, Hear, hear; say, I pray you, unto Joab, Come near hither, that I may speak with thee.

And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people returned from pursuing after Israel: for Joab held back the people.

So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
