2 Samuel 20:7-10
7So Joab’s men went out after him, 1along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; and they left 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 dressed in his military attire, and over it he had a belt with a sword in its sheath strapped on at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.
9And Joab said to Amasa, “Is it going well for you, my brother?” And 4Joab took hold of 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 5he struck him in the belly with it and spilled out his intestines on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
