2 Samuel 20:10-12

International Standard Version

¹⁰ Amasa did not notice the sword that Joab was holding in his hand. Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, spilling his intestines to the ground in a single stroke and killing him. After this, Joab and his brother pursued Bichri’s son Sheba.

¹¹ One of Joab’s soldiers stood by Amasa while he lay dying^[a] and announced, “Whoever is in favor of Joab and David, let him follow Joab.” ¹² While Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway, everybody who passed by was stopping to stare at him, so when the soldier saw that all of the army was stopping, he carried Amasa off the highway into a nearby field and covered him with a garment.
