When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out.

When they [were] at the great H1419 stone H68 which [is] in Gibeon, H1391 Amasa H6021 went H935 (QalPerf) before H6440 them. And Joab’s H3097 garment H4055 that he had put on H3830 was girded H2296 (QalPasPtc) unto him, and upon it a girdle H2289 [with] a sword H2719 fastened H6775 (PualPtc) upon his loins H4975 in the sheath H8593 thereof; and as he went forth H3318 (QalPerf) it fell out. H5307 (QalImpf)

they are near the great stone that is in Gibeon, and Amasa hath gone before them, and Joab is girded; his long robe he hath put on him, and upon it a girdle-a sword is fastened upon his loins in its sheath; and he hath gone out, and it falleth.

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he struck him with it in the body and shed out his bowels to the ground, and didn’t strike him again; and he died. Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

But Amasa H6021 took no heed H8104 (NiphPerf) to the sword H2719 that [was] in Joab’s H3097 hand: H3027 so he smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him therewith in the fifth H2570 [rib], and shed out H8210 (QalImpf) his bowels H4578 to the ground, H776 and struck him not again; H8138 (QalPerf) and he died.

and Amasa hath not been watchful of the sword that is in the hand of Joab, and he smiteth him with it unto the fifth rib, and sheddeth out his bowels to the earth, and he hath not repeated it to him, and he dieth; and Joab and Abishai his brother have pursued after Sheba son of Bichri.

One of Joab’s young men stood by him, and said, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!”

And one H376 of Joab’s H3097 men H5288 stood H5975 (QalPerf) by him, and said, H559 (QalImpf) He H4310 that favoureth H2654 (QalPerf) Joab, H3097 and he that [is] for David, H1732 [let him go] after H310 Joab. H3097

And a man hath stood by him, of the young men of Joab, and saith, ‘He who hath delight in Joab, and he who is for David-after Joab!’

They came and besieged him in Abel of Beth Maacah, and they cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab battered the wall to throw it down.

David said longingly, “Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!”
