2 Samuel 20:4-10

4And the kingH4428 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Call me the menH376 of JudahH3063 togetherH2199 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and do thou attend hereH6311.

5So AmasaH6021 went to callH2199 togetherH2199 [the men of] JudahH3063; but he delayed longer than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH4150 him.

6And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, NowH6258 shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of Bichri do us moreH4480 harm than did AbsalomH53. TakeH3947 thou thy lord's servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 after him, lestH6435 he get him fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 and escape our sight.

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 before them. And JoabH3097 was girdedH2296 with his coat, his dress, and upon it was the girdle of the swordH2719 which was fastened on his loinsH4975 in its sheathH8593; and as he wentH3318 forthH3318 it fellH5307 out.

9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou well, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kiss him.

10And AmasaH6021 had taken no notice of the swordH2719 that was in Joab's handH3027: so he smote him with it in the bellyH2570 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.
