2 Samuel 20:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” and he took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. ¹⁰ Amasa was not on guard against the sword in the hand of Joab, and he struck him in the midsection spilling his entrails on the ground. He died without being struck a second time. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bikri.

¹¹ Now one of the young men of Joab stood by him and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab.”
