2 Samuel 20:4-6

World English Bible

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, “Call me the men of Judah together within three days, and be here present.”

⁵ So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together; but he stayed longer than the set time which he had appointed him. ⁶ David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and escape out of our sight.”
