2 Samuel 20:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 20
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.
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!
