2 Samuel 20:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah, but he tarried longer than the set time which had been appointed him.

⁶ And David said to Abishai, Now will Sheba son of Bichri do us more harm than Absalom did. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he get for himself fenced cities and snatch away our very eyes.

⁷ And there went after him Joab’s men and [David’s bodyguards] the Cherethites and Pelethites and all the mighty men; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
