New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Amasa’s Death. 4 Then the king said to Amasa: “Summon the Judahites for me within three days. Then present yourself here.”(A) 5 Accordingly Amasa set out to summon Judah, but delayed beyond the time set for him. 6 Then David said to Abishai: “Sheba, son of Bichri, may now do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find fortified cities and take shelter while we look on.”
