2 Samuel 20:10-12
New English Translation

10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab[a] stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s[b] intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal.[c] Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bikri.

11 One of Joab’s soldiers who stood over Amasa said, “Whoever is for[d] Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!” 12 Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa[e] stopped, the man[f] pulled him[g] away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him.
