2 Samuel 20:7-10

7And there wentH3318 out after him Joab’s menH376, and the Cherethites and the Pelethites, and all the mightyH1368 menH376; and they wentH3318 out of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 after ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of Bichri. 8WhenH834 they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 cameH935 to meet them. And JoabH3097 was girdedH2296 with his apparel of war that he had put on, and thereon was a girdle with a swordH2719 fastened upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he wentH3318 forthH3318 it fellH5307 out. 9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Is it well with thee, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with his rightH3225 handH3027 to kiss him. 10But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab’s handH3027: so he smote him therewith in the body, and shedH8210 out his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struckH5221 him not again; and he diedH4191.

And JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 after ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of Bichri.
