2 Samuel 20:4-6
The Voice
David (to Amasa): 4 Go and tell the men of Judah they have three days to get here, and you come with them.
5 So Amasa went out to call Judah together, but he was delayed beyond his deadline.
David (to Abishai): 6 Sheba, Bichri’s son, will do more damage to us than Absalom if he’s left untouched. Take my men and pursue him. If we’re not careful, he’ll escape into a fortified city and continue to cause trouble.
2 Samuel 20:4-6
New International Version
4 Then the king said to Amasa,(A) “Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.” 5 But when Amasa went to summon Judah, he took longer than the time the king had set for him.
6 David said to Abishai,(B) “Now Sheba son of Bikri will do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your master’s men and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and escape from us.”[a]
