2 Samuel 20:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ The king said to Amasa, “·Tell the men [Mobilize the army] of Judah to meet with me ·in [within] three days, and you must also be here.” ⁵ So Amasa went to ·call [summon] the men of Judah together, but he ·took more time [delayed longer] than the king had said.

⁶ David said to Abishai, “Sheba son of Bicri ·is more dangerous to us than Absalom was [^Lwill do us more harm than Absalom]. Take ·my men [^Lthe servants of your master] and chase him before he finds ·walled [fortified] cities and escapes from ·us [^Lour sight].”
