2 Samuel 20:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ Amasa went to fetch Judah's men, but he did not return in three days.^[a]

⁶ Then David said to Abishai, ‘Bicri's son, Sheba, will cause us more trouble than Absalom did. Take my soldiers and chase after him. If you do not catch him, his people will hide in towns with strong walls. Then he will escape from us.’

⁷ So Abishai took Joab's soldiers, as well as the king's personal guards, the Pelethites and the Kerethites. He and all the king's soldiers marched out from Jerusalem to find Sheba.
