2 Samuel 20:4-13

4Then the kingH4428 saidH559 toH413 AmasaH6021, “SummonH2199 the menH376 of JudahH3063 to come to me within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be hereH6311H5975 yourselfH859.”

5So AmasaH6021 wentH1980 to summonH2199 JudahH3063, but he took longerH309 thanH4480 the timeH4150 allotted himH3259.

6And DavidH1732 saidH559 toH413 AbishaiH52, “NowH6258 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 will do us more harmH3415 thanH4480 AbsalomH53H859. TakeH3947 your lord’sH113 servantsH5650 and pursue himH7291H310, orH6435 he will findH4672 fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 and eludeH5337 usH5869.1”

7So Joab’sH3097 menH582, along with the CherethitesH3774, the PelethitesH6432, and allH3605 the mighty menH1368, marched out ofH3318 JerusalemH3389 in pursuitH7291H310 of ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075. 8And while theyH1992 were atH5973 the greatH1419 stoneH68 in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 joinedH935 themH6440.

Now JoabH3097 was dressedH2296 in military attireH4055H3830, with a daggerH2719 strappedH6775 to his beltH2290H5921H4975. And as heH1931 stepped forwardH3318, he slipped the daggerH5307 from its sheathH8593.2 9“Are youH859 wellH7965, my brotherH251?” JoabH3097 askedH559 AmasaH6021. And with his rightH3225 handH3027 JoabH3097 grabbedH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 to kissH5401 him.

10AmasaH6021 was notH3808 on guardH8104 against the daggerH2719 in Joab’sH3097 handH3027, and Joab stabbedH5221 him inH413 the stomachH2570 and spilled out his intestinesH4578H8210 on the groundH776. And Joab did not needH3808 to strike him againH8138, for Amasa was deadH4191. Then JoabH3097 and his brotherH251 AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291H310 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075.

11OneH376 of Joab’sH3097 young menH5288 stoodH5975 near AmasaH5921 and saidH559, “WhoeverH4310 favorsH2654 JoabH3097, and whoeverH4310 is for DavidH1732, let him followH310 JoabH3097!” 12But AmasaH6021 wallowedH1556 in his bloodH1818 in the middleH8432 of the roadH4546, and when the manH376 sawH7200 thatH3588 allH3605 the troopsH5971 were stopping thereH5975, he draggedH5437 the body offH4480 the roadH4546 into a fieldH7704 and threwH7993 a garmentH899 over itH5921. 13As soon asH834 Amasa’s body was removedH3014 fromH4480 the roadH4546, allH3605 the menH376 went onH5674 withH310 JoabH3097 to pursueH7291H310 ShebaH7652 sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
