Exegesis
The preposition acharei {אַחֲרֵי | ʾăḥărê} ‘after’ governs Sheba ben-Bikhri {שְׁבַע בֶּן-בִּכְרִי | šēḇāʿ ben-bixrî}, specifying the target. English reorders for clarity but preserves Hebrew parataxis of agent–origin–action.
In context — 2 Samuel 20:7
Joab’s men, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, with all the mighty men , went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
