2 Samuel 20:4-7 ▼

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

5 Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time allotted him.

6 So David said to Abishai, “Sheba son of Bichri will do more harm to us than Absalom. Take your lord’s soldiers and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us.”

7 So Joab’s men, the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors marched out under Abishai’s command; they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
