"One of Joab’s soldiers who stood over Amasa said,“Whoever is for Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!”"
— 2 Samuel 20:11, NET Bible
“And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.”
“And there stood by him one of Joab’s young men, and said, He that favoreth Joab, and he that is for David, let him follow Joab. ”
“There stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "He who favors Joab, and he who is for David, let him follow Joab!"”
“In the mean time some men of Joab's company stopping at the dead body of Amasa, said: Behold he that would have been in Joab's stead the companion of David.”
“And one of Joab's young men, taking his place at Amasa's side, said, Whoever is for Joab and for David, let him go after Joab!”
“And one of Joab’s men stood by him, and said, He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let him go after Joab.”
When they were near the big rock that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to them. Now Joab was dressed in military attire and had a dagger in its sheath belted to his waist. When he advanced, it fell out.
Joab said to Amasa,“How are you, my brother?” With his right hand Joab took hold of Amasa’s beard as if to greet him with a kiss.
Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.
One of Joab’s soldiers who stood over Amasa said,“Whoever is for Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab!”
Amasa was squirming in his own blood in the middle of the path, and this man had noticed that all the soldiers stopped. Having noticed that everyone who came across Amasa stopped, the man pulled him away from the path and into the field and threw a garment over him.
Once he had removed Amasa from the path, everyone followed Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.
Sheba traveled through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth Maacah and all the Berite region. When they had assembled, they too joined him.
