*
And David said to Abi '
shai , "
Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Ab '
salom ;
take your lord '
s servants and pursue him ,
lest he get himself fortified cities ,
and cause us trouble ."
*
And there went out after Abi '
shai ,
Jo '
ab and the Cher '
ethites and the Pel '
ethites ,
and all the mighty men ;
they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri .
*
When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon ,
Ama '
sa came to meet them .
Now Jo '
ab was wearing a soldier '
s garment ,
and over it was a girdle with a sword in its sheath fastened upon his loins ,
and as he went forward it fell out .
*
And Jo '
ab said to Ama '
sa , "
Is it well with you ,
my brother ?"
And Jo '
ab took Ama '
sa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him .
*
But Ama '
sa did not observe the sword which was in Jo '
ab '
s hand ;
so Jo '
ab struck him with it in the body ,
and shed his bowels to the ground ,
without striking a second blow ;
and he died .
Then Jo '
ab and Abi '
shai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri .
