2 Samuel 20:4-6

4Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.1 5So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.2 6And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord’s servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.3
