2 Samuel 20:8-12

8When they were at the greatH1419 stoneH68 whichH834 is in GibeonH1391, AmasaH6021 cameH935 to meetH6440 them. And JoabH3097 was girdedH2296 with his apparelH3830 of warH2719 that he had putH935 on, and thereonH5921 was a girdle with a swordH2719 fastenedH6775 uponH5921 his loinsH4975 in the sheathH8593 thereof; and as he wentH3318 forthH3318 it fellH5307 outH3318.

9And JoabH3097 saidH559 to AmasaH6021, Is it wellH7965 with thee, my brotherH251? And JoabH3097 tookH270 AmasaH6021 by the beardH2206 with his rightH3225 handH3027 to kiss him.

10But AmasaH6021 tookH4191 noH3808 heedH8104 to the swordH2719 that was in Joab’sH3097 handH3027: soH3808 he smoteH5221 him therewith in the bellyH2570, and shedH8210 outH8210 his bowelsH4578 to the groundH776, and struckH5221 him notH3808 againH310; and he diedH4191. And JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 his brotherH251 pursuedH7291 afterH310 ShebaH7652 the sonH1121 of BichriH1075.

11And there stood by him one of Joab’sH3097 youngH5288 menH376, and saidH559, He that favoureth JoabH3097, and he that is for DavidH1732, let him followH310 JoabH3097.

12And AmasaH6021 layH1556 wallowingH1556 in his bloodH1818 in the midstH8432 of the highwayH4546. And when the manH376 sawH7200 that allH3605 the peopleH5971 stoodH5975 stillH5975, he carriedH935 AmasaH6021 outH4480 of the highwayH4546 intoH935 the fieldH7704, and castH7993 a garmentH899 over him, when he sawH7200 that everyH3605 one that cameH935 by him stoodH5975 stillH5975.
