2 Samuel 20:7-10
7So Joab’s men went out after him, 1along with the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the mighty men; and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
8When they were at the large stone which is in 2Gibeon, Amasa came 3to meet them. Now Joab was 4dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.
9Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” And 5Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand so 6he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
