Shmuel Bais 20:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 20:2

So every man of Israel went up from after David
Those that met him on the road departed from him, and went no further with him:

[and] followed Sheba the son of Bichri;
and made him their captain, who was the author of their mutiny and sedition:

but the men of Judah clave unto their king, from Jordan to Jerusalem:
never left him, after they had conducted him over Jordan, until they had brought him safely to Jerusalem.

Shmuel Bais 20:2 In-Context

1 0 And there happened to be there an ish Beliyaal [rebel], shmo Sheva Ben Bichri an ish from Binyamin; and he blew a shofar, and said, We have no chelek in Dovid, neither have we nachalah in Ben Yishai; every ish to his ohal, O Yisroel.

2 So kol Ish Yisroel went up from after Dovid, and followed Sheva Ben Bichri; but the Ish Yehudah had deveykus unto their Melech, from Yarden even to Yerushalayim.

3 And Dovid came to his Bais (palace) at Yerushalayim; and HaMelech took the ten nashim, his pilagshim, whom he had left to be shomer over the Bais, and put them in Bais Mishmeret (seclusion), and provided for them, but went not in unto them. So they were shut up unto their yom mot, living in almenut (widowhood).

4 Then said HaMelech to Amasa, Assemble the Ish Yehudah within shloshet yamim; be thou here present.

5 So Amasa went to assemble Yehudah; but he tarried longer than the mo’ed which he had appointed him.
