2 Samuel 20:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ Joab asked Amasa, “Brother, is everything all right with you?” Then with his right hand he took Amasa by the beard to kiss him. ¹⁰ Amasa was not watching the sword in Joab’s hand. So Joab pushed the sword into Amasa’s stomach, causing Amasa’s insides to spill onto the ground. Joab did not have to stab Amasa again; he was already dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai continued to chase Sheba son of Bicri.

¹¹ One of Joab’s young men stood by Amasa’s body and said, “Everyone who is for Joab and David should follow Joab!”
