13 And to A·maʹsa YOU should say,+ ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? So may God do to me and so may he add to it+ if you will not become the army chief before me always instead of Joʹab.’”+

4 The king now said to A·maʹsa:+ “Call the men of Judah together to me within three days, and you yourself stand here.”

10 As for A·maʹsa, he was not on guard against the sword that was in Joʹab’s hand; so that he struck him+ with it in the abdomen, and his intestines spilled out to the earth, and he did not have to do it to him again. So he died. And Joʹab and A·bishʹai his brother, for their part, chased after Sheʹba the son of Bichʹri.
