Joab and Sheba

 "Joab against Sheba" refers to 

the 2 Samuel 20 narrative where King David's commander, Joab, pursues Sheba, a Benjamite rebel who incited a revolt. Joab besieged the city of Abel-beth-maachah where Sheba hid, intending to destroy it until a wise woman convinced him to spare the city in exchange for Sheba’s head. 

Key details regarding this event include:
  • The Conflict: Following Absalom's failed revolt, Sheba led another rebellion, proclaiming, "We have no share in David".
  • Joab's Pursuit: Joab was sent to stop this insurrection to restore order to the kingdom.
  • The Siege and Resolution: While besieging the city of Abel-beth-maachah, a wise woman persuaded Joab that the city should not be destroyed for one man's treason. Sheba was subsequently killed by his own people to save the city, and his head was thrown over the wall to Joab, ending the rebellion.
  • Significance: This account highlights themes of loyalty, the severe consequences of rebellion, and the power of wisdom to avert unnecessary destruction.
