2 Samuel 20:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ So Amasa went to call the men of Judah together. But he took longer than the time the king had told him.

⁶ David said to Abishai, “Sheba son of Bicri is more dangerous to us than Absalom was. Take my men and chase him. Hurry before he finds strong, walled cities. If he gets there, he will escape from us.” ⁷ So Joab’s men, the Kerethites and the Pelethites, who were the king’s bodyguards, and all the soldiers went with Abishai. They went out from Jerusalem to chase Sheba son of Bicri.
