2 SAMUEL 20
JOAB DEFEATS AMASA + SHEBA
Sheba, who is described as “a worthless man,” summons the Israelites to follow him instead of David. All of the Israelites turn to follow Sheba, except for the tribe of Judah. David turns to Amasa, the man he chose over Joab to lead the Israelite army. David asks him to gather the men of Judah, but Amasa takes far longer than David expected.
David warns Abishai that Sheba is far more dangerous than Absalom ever was—a bold statement! Joab, David’s previous military leader, finds Amasa and stabs him to death. Joab commands Amasa’s army to follow him instead.
David’s men go after Sheba and attack the city where he is hiding. With the help of a wise woman, the attack on the city is stopped, protecting the innocent people and killing Sheba alone. Sheba's head was thrown over a wall into Joab’s possession!
