2 Samuel 20:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ Joab said to Amasa, Are you well, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand [as if] to kiss him.

¹⁰ But Amasa did not notice the sword in Joab’s hand. So [Joab] struck him [who was to have been his successor] with it in the body, shedding his bowels to the ground without another blow; and [soon] he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba son of Bichri.

¹¹ And one of Joab’s men stood by him and said, Whoever favors Joab and is for David, follow Joab!
