the sonº

בִּכרִי,º
a

בֶּניְמִינִי:º
and he blewºº
a trumpet,º

neitherº

And there happened to be there a man of Beliyyaal, whose name [was] Sheva, the son of Bikhri, a Benyemini: and he blew a trumpet, and said, We have no part in Dawid, neither have we inheritance in the son of Yishay: every man to his tents, O Yisrael. |

from afterºº
Däwið
דָּוִד,º
[and] followedº
Šævä´

he had leftººº
to keepºº
the house,º
and putºº
them in ward,ºº

Then saidºº

20:4 ¶
Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Yehudah within three days, and be thou here present. |
