2 Samuel 20:4-10
4Now the kingH4428 saidH559 to 1AmasaH6021, “SummonH2199 the menH376 of JudahH3063 for me within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be presentH5975 hereH6311 yourselfH859.”
5So AmasaH6021 wentH1980 to summonH2199 the men of JudahH3063, but he was 2delayedH309 longer thanH4480 the setH4150 timeH4150 whichH834 he had designatedH3259 for him.
6And DavidH1732 saidH559 to 3AbishaiH52, “NowH6258 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 will doH7489 us moreH4480 harmH7489 thanH4480 AbsalomH53; 4takeH3947 your lord’sH113 servantsH5650 and pursueH7291H310 him, soH6435 thatH6435 he does notH6435 findH4672 for himself fortifiedH1219 citiesH5892 and escapeH5337 from our sightH5869.”
7So Joab’sH3097 menH376 wentH3318 outH3318 afterH310 him, 5along with the CherethitesH3774, the PelethitesH6432, and allH3605 the warriorsH1368; and they leftH3318 JerusalemH3389 to pursueH7291H310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
8When they were at the largeH1419 stoneH68 whichH834 is in 6GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 cameH935 7to meetH6440 them. Now JoabH3097 was dressedH2296H3830 in his militaryH4055 attireH3830, and overH5921 it he had a beltH2290 with a swordH2719 in its sheathH8593 strappedH6775 on at his waistH4975; and as he wentH3318 forwardH3318, it fellH5307 outH5307.
9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, “Is it goingH7965 wellH7965 for you, my brotherH251?” And 8JoabH3097 tookH270 holdH270 of 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 9he struckH5221 him in the bellyH2570 with it and spilledH8210 outH8210 his intestinesH4578 on the groundH776, and didH8138 not strike him againH8138, and he diedH4191. Then JoabH3097 and his brotherH251 AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291H310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.
