2 Samuel 20:5-7
International Standard Version
5 But when Amasa went out to muster the army of[a] Judah, he delayed to act within the time allotted to him. 6 So David told Abishai, “Now Bichri’s son Sheba is about to do more damage than did Absalom. So take my personal guards and go after them. Otherwise, he’ll run to one of the fortified cities and escape from us.” 7 So Joab’s men, the special forces[b] and mercenaries,[c] and all of David’s elite forces left Jerusalem in pursuit of Bichri’s son Sheba.
