2 Samuel 20:8-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 20
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.
10
But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab’s hand, so he struck him in the belly with it and spilled out his intestines on the ground, and did not
strike
him again, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11
Now one of Joab’s young men stood by him and said, 'Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!'
King James Version
Chapter 20
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.
10
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
11
And one of Joab's men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 20
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.
10
Amasa was not on guard against the sword in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach with it and spilled his intestines out on the ground. Joab did not stab him again, and Amasa died. Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
11
One of Joab’s young men had stood over Amasa saying, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!"
New Living Translation
Chapter 20
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.
10
Amasa didn’t notice the dagger in his left hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach with it so that his insides gushed out onto the ground. Joab did not need to strike again, and Amasa soon died. Joab and his brother Abishai left him lying there and continued after Sheba.
11
One of Joab’s young men shouted to Amasa’s troops, 'If you are for Joab and David, come and follow Joab.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 20
8
When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was wearing a soldier 's garment, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened on his thigh, and as he went forward it fell out.
9
And Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10
But Amasa did not observe the sword that was in Joab 's hand. So Joab struck him with it in the stomach and spilled his entrails to the ground without striking a second blow, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11
And one of Joab 's young men took his stand by Amasa and said, "Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab."
New International Version
Chapter 20
8
While they were at the great rock in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was wearing his military tunic, and strapped over it at his waist was a belt with a dagger in its sheath. As he stepped forward, it dropped out of its sheath.
9
Joab said to Amasa, "How are you, my brother?" Then Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10
Amasa was not on his guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab plunged it into his belly, and his intestines spilled out on the ground. Without being stabbed again, Amasa died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bikri.
11
One of Joab’s men stood beside Amasa and said, "Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!"
New King James Version
Chapter 20
8
When they
were
at the large stone which
is
in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt
with
a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he was going forward, it fell out.
9
Then Joab said to Amasa, “
Are
you in health, my brother?” And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.
10
But Amasa did not notice the sword that
was
in Joab’s hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not
strike
him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
11
Meanwhile one of Joab’s men stood near Amasa, and said, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever
is
for David—follow Joab!”
