2 Samuel 20:8 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
6 David dit alors à Abischaï: Schéba, fils de Bicri, va maintenant nous faire plus de mal qu’Absalom. Prends toi-même les serviteurs de ton maître et poursuis-le, de peur qu’il ne trouve des villes fortes et ne se dérobe à nos yeux.
7 Et Abischaï partit, suivi des gens de Joab, des Kéréthiens et des Péléthiens, et de tous les vaillants hommes; ils sortirent de Jérusalem, afin de poursuivre Schéba, fils de Bicri.
8 Lorsqu’ils furent près de la grande pierre qui est à Gabaon, Amasa arriva devant eux. Joab était ceint d’une épée par-dessus les habits dont il était revêtu; elle était attachée à ses reins dans le fourreau, d’où elle glissa, comme Joab s’avançait.
9 Joab dit à Amasa: Te portes-tu bien, mon frère? Et de la main droite il saisit la barbe d’Amasa pour le baiser.
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.
