Read 2 Samuel 20.1-3
In 201.26: Sheba's revolt.
In verse 1: Everyone to your tents is an idiom for military mobilization.
Sheba is calling for the army of Israel to withdraw from David.
In verse 2: All the people of Israel refers only to the northern tribes, as the rest of the verse shows.
The phrase probably exaggerates the extent of the northern disaffection with David (see v. 21).
In verse 3: David no longer had sexual relations with the ten concubines he had left behind because Absalom had slept with them (16.20-21).
