2 Samuel 20:9-12

9JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, “Is it wellH7965 with you, my brotherH251?” And 1JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with his rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him.

10But AmasaH6021 was not on guardH8104 against the swordH2719 whichH834 was in Joab’sH3097 handH3027 so 2he struckH5221 him in the bellyH2570 with it and pouredH8210 out his inwardH4578 partsH4578 on the groundH776, and did not strike him againH8138, and he diedH4191. Then JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.

11Now there stoodH5975 by him oneH376 of Joab’sH3097 youngH5288 menH5288, and saidH559, “WhoeverH4310H834 favorsH2654 JoabH3097 and whoeverH4310H834 is for DavidH1732, 3let him followH310 JoabH3097.”

12But AmasaH6021 layH1556 wallowingH1556 in his bloodH1818 in the middleH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200 that allH3605 the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 stillH5975, he 4removedH5437 AmasaH6021 from the highwayH4546 into the fieldH7704 and threwH7993 a garmentH899 overH5921 him whenH3512 he sawH7200 that everyoneH3605 who cameH935 by him stoodH5975 stillH5975.
