2 Samuel 20:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴ Then the king said to ^(A)Amasa, “Call the men of Judah together to me within three days, and be here yourself.” ⁵ So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he delayed beyond the set time that had been appointed him. ⁶ And David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take ^(B)your lord's servants and pursue him, lest he get himself to fortified cities and escape from us.”^[a]
