2 Samuel 20:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ So Amasa went to summon Judah; but he delayed beyond the set time that had been appointed him. ⁶ David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities for himself, and escape from us.” ⁷ Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
