So Amasa went to assemble [the men of] Judah, etc.] To gather, them together out of their several tribes, and bring them to Jerusalem: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him: than the three days; whether this was owing to the remissness of Amasa, or the unwillingness of the people to serve under him, who had been Absalom’s general in the late rebellion, or not having time sufficient allowed him, is not certain.
