2 Samuel 20:5-7
Revised Standard Version
5 So Ama′sa went to summon Judah; but he delayed beyond the set time which had been appointed him. 6 And David said to Abi′shai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Ab′salom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he get himself fortified cities, and cause us trouble.”[a] 7 And there went out after Abi′shai, Jo′ab[b] and the Cher′ethites and the Pel′ethites, and all the mighty men; they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
