2 Samuel 20:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ Amasa did not see the dagger in Joab's other hand. Joab stuck it in Amasa's stomach, and his insides spilled out on the ground. Joab only struck him once, but Amasa was dying.

Joab and his brother Abishai went off to chase Sheba. ¹¹ One of Joab's soldiers stood by Amasa and shouted, “If any of you are for Joab and David, then follow Joab!”

¹² Amasa was still rolling in his own blood in the middle of the road. The soldier who had shouted noticed that everyone who passed by would stop, so he dragged Amasa off the road and covered him with a blanket.
