2 Samuel 20:4-6

American Standard Version

⁴ Then said the king to Amasa, Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be thou here present. ⁵ So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together; but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him. ⁶ And David said to Abishai, Now will Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.
