2 Samuel 20:7-10
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 sheathH8593.1 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.
