2 Samuel 3:27

2 Samuel 20:9-10

20:9 Joab said to Amasa, “How are you, my brother?” With his right hand Joab took hold of Amasa’s beard as if to greet him with a kiss. 20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab ³  stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s ⁴  intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. ⁵  Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.
