2 Samuel 20:9-12
9 Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” And (A)Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Amasa Murdered
10 But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand so (B)he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11 Now there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, (C)let him follow Joab.”
12 But Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he (a)removed Amasa from the highway into the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
