At the great stone in Gibeon, Amasa is struck with the sword in Joab’s hand and dies

기브온 큰 바위 곁에서 요압의 칼에 찔린 아마사가 죽음

2 Samuel 20:8–13: the text says, “When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them.” Joab was clothed in his apparel of war that he had put on, and on it was a sash with a sword fastened on his waist in its sheath; and as he went along it fell out. Joab says to Amasa, “Is it well with you, my brother?” Joab takes Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him. But Amasa takes no heed to the sword that was in Joab’s hand. So he strikes him with it in the body and sheds out his bowels to the ground, and doesn’t strike him again; and he dies. Joab and Abishai his brother pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. One of Joab’s young men stands by him, and says, “He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!” Amasa lies wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. When the man sees that all the people stood still, he carries Amasa out of the highway into the field, and casts a garment over him when he sees that everyone who came by him stood still. When he was removed out of the highway, all the people go on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri. The Korean Revised Version names Joab as the one who strikes at 20:10, and names Amasa at 20:11 and 20:13, where WEB says “him” and “he”.
