2 Samuel 20:8-10
Legacy Standard Bible
8 They were at the large stone which is in (A)Gibeon, and Amasa came [a]to meet them. Now Joab was [b]dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his [c]waist; and as he came out, it fell out. 9 Then Joab said to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” And (B)Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
Joab Strikes Amasa
10 But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand so (C)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.
