Lo' shalom, daq.
2 Samuel 20:1-22
1 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.
2 So every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
3 And David came to his house at Jerusalem; and the king took the ten women his concubines, whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in ward, and fed them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto the day of their death, living in widowhood.
4 Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6 And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7 And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8 When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9 And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
10 But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
12 And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.
13 When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
14 And he went through all the tribes of Israel unto Abel, and to Beth-maachah, and all the Berites: and they were gathered together, and went also after him.
15 And they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, and it stood in the trench: and all the people that were with Joab battered the wall, to throw it down.
16 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.
17 And when he was come near unto her, the woman said, Art thou Joab? And he answered, I am he. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid. And he answered, I do hear.
18 Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and so they ended the matter.
19 I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Israel: thou seekest to destroy a city and a mother in Israel: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Lord?
20 And Joab answered and said, Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy.
21 The matter is not so: but a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the king, even against David: deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the woman said unto Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall.
22 Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to Joab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.

Only YOU would see all the FLUFF you've added to an otherwise historical scene in the life of David the king.
Here's the REAL story you've quoted. Shall we count how many changes you've made to the Holy Word of God? No, maybe not; there's too many to count!daq said:It is not me that you refuse to believe but rather the Scripture, Word, and Doctrine of Messiah Yeshua! :lol:

Matthew 12:42
42. The queen of the south [Sheba] shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Revelation 13:1-6
1. And he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy.
2. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3. And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast;
4. And they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him?
5. And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months.
6. And he opened his mouth into blasphemies against God, blaspheming his name, and his tabernacle-tent, that is, them tabernacle-tented in the heaven.
2 Kings 2:23-24 KJV
23. And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
Hosea 13:6-8 KJV
6. According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
7. Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
8. I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Jeremiah 13:23 LXX-Septuagint (Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton 1851)

Daniel 4:11-14 LXX-Septuagint (Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton 1851)
11. Cut down the tree, and pluck off its branches, and shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit: let the wild beasts be removed from under it, and the birds from its branches.
12. Only leave the stump of its roots in the earth, and bind it with an iron and brass band; and it shall lie in the grass that is without and in the dew of heaven, and its portion shall be with the wild beasts in the grass of the field.
13. His heart shall be changed from that of man, and the heart of a wild beast shall be given to him; and seven times shall pass over him.
14. The matter is by the decree of the watcher, and the demand is a word of the holy ones; that the living may known that the Lord is most high over the kingdom of men, and he will give it to whomsoever he shall please, and will set up over it that which is set at nought of men.

Daniel 7:1-8 LXX-Septuagint (Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton 1851)
1. In the first year of Baltasar, king of the Chaldeans Daniel had a dream, and visions of his head upon his bed: and he wrote his dream.
2. I Daniel beheld, and, lo, the four winds of heaven blew violently upon the great sea.
3. And there came up four great beasts out of the sea, differing from one another.
4. The first was as a lioness, and her wings as an eagle’s; I beheld until her wings were plucked, and she was lifted off from the earth, and she stood on human feet, and a man's heart was given to her.
5. And, behold, a second beast like a bear, and it supported itself on one side, and there were three ribs in its mouth, between its teeth: and thus they said to it, Arise, devour much flesh.
6. After this one I looked, and behold another wild beast as a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird upon it: and the wild beast had four heads, and power was given to it.
7. After this one I looked, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and exceedingly strong, and its teeth were of iron; devouring and crushing to atoms, and it trampled the remainder with its feet: and it was altogether different from the beasts that were before it; and it had ten hours.
8. I noticed his horns, and behold, another little horn came up in the midst of them, and before it three of the former horns were rooted out: and, behold, there were eyes as the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things.

Luke 17:26-37 KJV
26. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29. But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
31. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back.
32. Remember Lot's wife.
33. Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
34. I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37. And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

Double minded man why do you inquire of me now and what do I owe you? :lol:
Oy Vey! And you call yourself a Jew? (Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9). Too bad you cannot understand these words seeing how they are directed only toward your own fierce anthropon-countenance of `Az at this time, (each in his or her own appointed times and none shall be alone in his appointed times). When you see the south wind blow, which is a thing that cannot be seen with the eyes of the flesh, you say there will be heat and it comes to pass. Hypocrite, for seeing the face of the earth and the sky you interpret it; but how is it that seeing this appointed time you cannot discern? Why moreover what is from yourself can you not rightly judge?
Revelation 2:20-23 KJV
20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
21. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
23. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Likewise there is a witness not from myself that these things I write not from myself:
Lift up your head for your redemption draws nigh!
Once upon the consummation of an age there was a firstborn son of Belial who was ymiyniy-righthanded, just like his spiritual father, and his name was Sheba-Seven. One day Sheba saw an opportunity to steal the kingdom away for himself toward his own glory; and seizing the moment he went out blowing his own trumpet so as to turn all Yisrael away from the Great King, the True Father of above. And so it came to pass that every man of Yisrael began to harken to the bellowings, blowings, neighings, and empty words of hot air which came forth from the heart of Sheba; and the Great King sent forth an executioner to put an end to the subversive and destructive naysayings of the imposter Sheba. And soon enough the executioner caught up with Sheba-Seven, who then fled to the city of Abel; where he took refuge from the executioner within the city walls. So the executioner gathered his forces, and they came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-Maachah, and they cast up a bank against the city, which stood against the wall: and all the people that were with the messenger of the King battered the wall, to throw it down. Then cried a wise woman out of the city: Hear, hear! I pray you Sir, unto the messenger of the King, Please come near that I may speak with thee. And he obliged, and come near unto her, and the woman said; Art thou Yoab? And he answered, I am. Then she said unto him, Hear the words of thine handmaid! And he answered, I will hear. Then she spake, saying, They were wont to speak in old time, saying, They shall surely ask counsel at Abel: and thus shall they end the matter! I am one of them that are peaceable and faithful in Yisrael: you seek to destroy a city and a mother in Yisrael: why wilt thou swallow up the inheritance of the Most High? And Yoab answered and said; Far be it, far be it from me, that I should swallow up or destroy! Is it not so that the matter is that a man of mount Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, hath lifted up his hand against the King? (also against king David)? Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. And the wise woman said unto Yoab: Behold, his head shall be thrown to thee over the wall. Then the woman of the Covenant, Yerushalaim of Above, the mother of all the faithful in Yisrael, went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they KARATH-CUT-OFF the Sheba-Seven head and cast it out to Yoab. And he blew a trumpet, and they retired from the city, every man to his tent. :)
