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 spilled out his intestines on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. 11 Now one of Joab’s young men stood by him and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, (C)follow Joab!” 12 But Amasa was wallowing in his own blood in the middle of the road. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa from the road to the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

When he realized that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
