2 Samuel 20:10-12

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ But Ama′sa did not observe the sword which was in Jo′ab’s hand; so Jo′ab struck him with it in the body, and shed his bowels to the ground, without striking a second blow; and he died.^[a]

Then Jo′ab and Abi′shai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri. ¹¹ And one of Jo′ab’s men took his stand by Ama′sa, and said, “Whoever favors Jo′ab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Jo′ab.” ¹² And Ama′sa lay wallowing in his blood in the highway. And any one who came by, seeing him, stopped;^[b] and when the man saw that all the people stopped, he carried Ama′sa out of the highway into the field, and threw a garment over him.
