And Absalom H53 made H7760 Amasa H6021 captain H5921 of the host H6635 instead H8478 of Joab: H3097 which Amasa H6021 was a man's H376 son, H1121 whose name H8034 was Ithra H3501 an Israelite, H3481 that went H935 in to Abigail H26 the daughter H1323 of Nahash, H5176 sister H269 to Zeruiah H6870 Joab's H3097 mother. H517

And say H559 you to Amasa, H6021 Are you not of my bone, H6106 and of my flesh? H1320 God H430 do H6213 so H3541 to me, and more H3254 also, H3541 if H518 you be not captain H8269 of the host H6635 before H6440 me continually H3605 H3117 in the room H8478 of Joab. H3097

Then said H559 the king H4428 to Amasa, H6021 Assemble H2199 me the men H376 of Judah H3063 within three H7969 days, H3117 and be you here H6311 present. H5975

And David H1732 said H559 to Abishai, H52 Now H6258 shall Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri H1075 do us more harm H3415 than H4480 did Absalom: H53 take H3947 you your lord's H113 servants, H5650 and pursue H7291 after H310 him, lest H6435 he get H4672 him fenced H1219 cities, H5892 and escape H5337 us.

When they were at H5973 the great H1419 stone H68 which H834 is in Gibeon, H1391 Amasa H6021 went H935 before H6440 them. And Joab's H3097 garment H4055 that he had put H3830 on was girded H2296 to him, and on it a girdle H2290 with a sword H2719 fastened H6775 on his loins H4975 in the sheath H8593 thereof; and as he went H3318 forth H3318 it fell H5307 out.

But Amasa H6021 took no H3808 heed H8104 to the sword H2719 that was in Joab's H3097 hand: H3027 so he smote H5221 him therewith in the fifth H2570 rib, and shed H8210 out his bowels H4578 to the ground, H776 and struck H8138 him not again; H8138 and he died. H4191 So Joab H3097 and Abishai H52 his brother H251 pursued H7291 after H310 Sheba H7652 the son H1121 of Bichri. H1075

And Amasa H6021 wallowed H1556 in blood H1818 in the middle H8432 of the highway. H4546 And when the man H376 saw H7200 that all H3605 the people H5971 stood H5975 still, he removed H5437 Amasa H6021 out of the highway H4546 into the field, H7704 and cast H7993 a cloth H899 on him, when he saw H7200 that every H3605 one that came H935 by him stood H5975 still.

Moreover H1571 you know H3045 also H1571 what H853 H834 Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 did H6213 to me, and what H834 he did H6213 to the two H8147 captains H8269 of the hosts H6635 of Israel, H3478 to Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 and to Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Jether, H3500 whom he slew, H2026 and shed H7760 the blood H1818 of war H4421 in peace, H7965 and put H5414 the blood H1818 of war H4421 on his girdle H2290 that was about his loins, H4975 and in his shoes H5275 that were on his feet. H7272

And the LORD H3068 shall return H7725 his blood H1818 on his own head, H7218 who H834 fell H6293 on two H8147 men H582 more righteous H6662 and better H2896 than he, and slew H2026 them with the sword, H2719 my father H1 David H1732 not knowing H3045 thereof, to wit, Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Israel, H3478 and Amasa H6021 the son H1121 of Jether, H3500 captain H8269 of the host H6635 of Judah. H3063

And Absalom H53 made H7760 Amasa H6021 captain H5921 of the host H6635 instead H8478 of Joab: H3097 which Amasa H6021 was a man's H376 son, H1121 whose name H8034 was Ithra H3501 an Israelite, H3481 that went H935 in to Abigail H26 the daughter H1323 of Nahash, H5176 sister H269 to Zeruiah H6870 Joab's H3097 mother.
