Two significant figures bear the name Sheba: a descendant of Abraham through Jokshan, and a Benjamite who led a rebellion against David after the Ammonite war. The rebel Sheba attempted to tear Israel apart by claiming 'we have no portion in David,' but Joab pursued and killed him, restoring unity to the kingdom.

Hear their story sung

"There happened to be there a wicked fellow, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet, and said, “We have no portion in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to his tents, Israel!”"
