  • 2 Sam 20:4-9 : 4 Then the king said to Amasa, Gather the men of Judah for me in three days, and be here yourself. 5 So Amasa went to gather the men of Judah, but he delayed beyond the appointed time. 6 And David said to Abishai, Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom did; take your master’s servants and pursue him, lest he find fortified cities and escape from us. 7 So Joab's men, the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the mighty men went out after him, and they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. 8 When they reached the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was wearing his military garment, with a belt and a sword fastened at his waist in its sheath; as he went forward, it fell out. 9 And Joab said to Amasa, Are you well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. 10 But Amasa did not notice the sword in Joab’s hand, so Joab struck him in the stomach, spilling his intestines to the ground. He did not strike him again, and Amasa died. Joab and his brother Abishai then pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. 11 And one of Joab's men stood by Amasa and said, Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab. 12 Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the people stopped, he moved Amasa from the road into the field and threw a cloth over him, because everyone who came by stopped.
