Sheba

Sheba son of Bichri was, according to the Old Testament, a Benjamite insurgent who rebelled against the rule of King David of Israel.

Biography
After King David returned to Jerusalem following the defeat of Absalom, the Tribe of Judah were given precedent over the other ten tribes, which upset many members of the tribes. The Benjamite leader Sheba took advantage of this anger towards David to call a rebellion, allowing him to lead the Benjamites against David. David ordered his military commander Amasa to fight Sheba, but he failed to mobilise troops, so Joab accused him of treachery and murdered him before taking control of the fight against Sheba. Sheba fled to the city of Abel-beth-maachah, which was surrounded by Joab's army. When Joab called upon the people to hand Sheba over or Abel-beth-maachah would be destroyed, they decapitated Sheba and threw his head down from the walls. Joab then departed with the insurgent's head.
