10 Amasa ne prit point garde à l’épée qui était dans la main de Joab; et Joab l’en frappa au ventre et répandit ses entrailles à terre, sans lui porter un second coup. Et Amasa mourut. Joab et son frère Abischaï marchèrent à la poursuite de Schéba, fils de Bicri.

11 Un homme d’entre les gens de Joab resta près d’Amasa, et il disait: Qui veut de Joab et qui est pour David? Qu’il suive Joab!

12 Amasa se roulait dans le sang au milieu de la route; et cet homme, ayant vu que tout le peuple s’arrêtait, poussa Amasa hors de la route dans un champ, et jeta sur lui un vêtement, lorsqu’il vit que tous ceux qui arrivaient près de lui s’arrêtaient.

13 Quand il fut ôté de la route, chacun suivit Joab, afin de poursuivre Schéba, fils de Bicri.
