2 Samuel 20:6

Joab Assassinates Amasa

⁵ So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him. ⁶ And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes. ⁷ So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.
