2 Samuel 20:4-7 ▼

4 Now the king said to Amasa, “Summon the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.”

5 So Amasa went to summon the men of Judah, but he was delayed longer than the set time which he had designated for him.

6 And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight.”

7 So Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; and they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
