2 Samuel 20:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, “Summon for me the men of Judah in three days, then present yourself here.” ⁵ So Amasa went to summon Judah, but he delayed beyond the deadline determined for him.

⁶ So David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bikri will cause more harm for us than Absalom. You take your lord’s servants and pursue after him. Otherwise, he will find fortified cities and escape from our sight.”
