2 Samuel 20:7
And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
And there went out after him Joab's men,.... Who though he was removed from his post as general, yet might still have the command of a regiment:
and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites; over whom Benaiah was, 2 Samuel 20:23; these attended David in his flight, and had now returned with him, 2 Samuel 15:18;
and all the mighty men; the military men that were at Jerusalem as many as could be spared:
and they went out of Jerusalem to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri; with Abishai at the head of them; Josephus {q} says there were six hundred, besides the soldiers at Jerusalem that went on this pursuit.
