2 Samuel 20:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 ¶ Then said the King to [a]Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
5 So Amasa went to assemble Judah, but he tarried longer than the time which he had appointed him.
6 Then David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou therefore thy [b]lord’s servants and follow after him, lest he get him walled cities, and escape us.
