2 Samuel 20:4-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
4
Now the king said to Amasa, 'Summon the men of Judah for me
within
three days, and be present here yourself.'
5
So Amasa went to summon
the men of
Judah, but he was delayed longer than the set time which he had designated for him.
6
And David said to Abishai, 'Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom; take your lord’s servants and pursue him, so that he does not find for himself fortified cities and escape from our sight.'
7
So Joab’s men went out after him, along with the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors; and they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
8
When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it
he had
a belt with a sword in its sheath strapped on at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.
9
And Joab said to Amasa, 'Is it going well for you, my brother?' And Joab took hold of Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
King James Version
Chapter 20
4
Then said the king to Amasa, Assemble me the men of Judah within three days, and be thou here present.
5
So Amasa went to assemble the men of Judah: but he tarried longer than the set time which he had appointed him.
6
And David said to Abishai, Now shall Sheba the son of Bichri do us more harm than did Absalom: take thou thy lord's servants, and pursue after him, lest he get him fenced cities, and escape us.
7
And there went out after him Joab's men, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, and all the mighty men: and they went out of Jerusalem, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.
8
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab's garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle with a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
9
And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.

4
The king said to Amasa, "Summon the men of Judah to me within three days and be here yourself."
5
Amasa went to summon Judah, but he took longer than the time allotted him.
6
So David said to Abishai, "Sheba son of Bichri will do more harm to us than Absalom. Take your lord’s soldiers and pursue him, or he will find fortified cities and elude us."
7
So Joab’s men, the Cherethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors marched out under Abishai’s command; they left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
8
They were at the great stone in Gibeon when Amasa joined them. Joab was wearing his uniform and over it was a belt around his waist with a sword in its sheath. As he approached, the sword fell out.
9
Joab asked Amasa, "Are you well, my brother?" Then with his right hand Joab grabbed Amasa by the beard to kiss him.
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
4
Then the king told Amasa, 'Mobilize the army of Judah within three days, and report back at that time.'
5
So Amasa went out to notify Judah, but it took him longer than the time he had been given.
6
Then David said to Abishai, 'Sheba son of Bicri is going to hurt us more than Absalom did. Quick, take my troops and chase after him before he gets into a fortified town where we can’t reach him.'
7
So Abishai and Joab, together with the king’s bodyguard and all the mighty warriors, set out from Jerusalem to go after Sheba.
8
As they arrived at the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa met them. Joab was wearing his military tunic with a dagger strapped to his belt. As he stepped forward to greet Amasa, he slipped the dagger from its sheath.
9
How are you, my cousin?' Joab said and took him by the beard with his right hand as though to kiss him.
