2 Samuel 20:7-9

New King James Version

⁷ So Joab’s men, with the ^(A)Cherethites, the Pelethites, and ^(B)all the mighty men, went out after him. And they went out of Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. ⁸ When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out. ⁹ Then Joab said to Amasa, “Are you in health, my brother?” ^(C)And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
