2 Samuel 20:5 - Forerunner Commentary

2 Samuel 20:5

3 Now David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, ^ahis concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in seclusion and supported them, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

4 And the king said to Amasa, ^a“Assemble the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself.”

5 So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah. But he delayed longer than the set time which David had appointed him.

6 And David said to ^aAbishai, “Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take ^byour lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and escape us.”

7 So Joab’s men, with the ^aCherethites, the Pelethites, and ^ball the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
