David sends Amasa to fetch all the men from Judah

⁴ The king said to Amasa, ‘Bring all the men of Judah's tribe here to me. Three days from now, I will meet with them. You must also be here yourself.’

⁵ Amasa went to fetch Judah's men, but he did not return in three days.^[a]

⁶ Then David said to Abishai, ‘Bicri's son, Sheba, will cause us more trouble than Absalom did. Take my soldiers and chase after him. If you do not catch him, his people will hide in towns with strong walls. Then he will escape from us.’
