2 Samuel 20:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, “Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days. And be present here yourself.”

⁵ So Amasa went to assemble Judah. But he took longer than the time which had been appointed to him.

⁶ Then David said to Abishai, “Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and follow after him, lest he get himself walled cities and escapes us.”
