2 Samuel 20:1

The Revolt of Sheba

20¹ Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba , the son of Bichri , a Benjamite e ; and he blew the trumpet and said , " We have no portion in David , Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse ; Every man to his tents , O Israel !"

Commentary on 2 Samuel 20:1-3

(Read 2 Samuel 20:1-3)

One trial arises after another for our good, till we reach the place where sin and sorrow are for ever done away. Angry disputers misunderstand or misconstrue one another's words; proud men will have every thing their own way, or wholly refuse their assistance. The favour of the many is not to be depended upon; and what have others to expect, when Hosanna to the Son of David was soon changed to Crucify him, crucify him?
