Joab Assassinates Amasa

12 But Amasa was wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people who came by stopped [to look], he moved Amasa from the highway into the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by Amasa stopped. 13 When [the body of] Amasa was removed from the highway, everyone followed after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. 14 Now Joab went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, even Beth-maacah, and all the Berites; and they assembled and also went after Sheba.
