2 Samuel 20:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ When he was taken out of the highway, all the people went on after Jo′ab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

¹⁴ And Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth-ma′acah;^[a] and all the Bichrites^[b] assembled, and followed him in. ¹⁵ And all the men who were with Jo′ab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-ma′acah; they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and they were battering the wall, to throw it down.
