2 Samuel 20:4-10

4Then saidH559 the kingH4428 to AmasaH6021, AssembleH2199 me the menH376 of JudahH3063 within threeH7969 daysH3117, and be thou here presentH5975.1 5So AmasaH6021 wentH3212 to assembleH2199 the men of JudahH3063: but he tarried longerH3186H309 than the set timeH4150 which he had appointedH3259 him.2 6And DavidH1732 saidH559 to AbishaiH52, Now shall ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075 do us more harmH3415 than did AbsalomH53: takeH3947 thou thy lord’sH113 servantsH5650, and pursueH7291 afterH310 him, lest he getH4672 him fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and escapeH5337 usH5869.3 7And there went outH3318 afterH310 him Joab’sH3097 menH582, and the CherethitesH3774, and the PelethitesH6432, and all the mighty menH1368: and they went outH3318 of JerusalemH3389, to pursueH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075. 8When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 which is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 wentH935 beforeH6440 them. And Joab’sH3097 garmentH4055 that he had put onH3830 was girdedH2296 unto him, and upon it a girdleH2289 with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 upon his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he went forthH3318 it fell outH5307. 9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Art thou in healthH7965, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with the rightH3225 handH3027 to kissH5401 him. 10But AmasaH6021 took no heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab’sH3097 handH3027: so he smoteH5221 him therewith in the fifthH2570 rib, and shed outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struck him not againH8138; and he diedH4191. So JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.4
