— 2 Samuel 20:13, Catholic Public Domain Version
“When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.”
“When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri. ”
“When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.”
“Once he had removed Amasa from the path, everyone followed Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bicri.”
“And when he was removed out of the way, all the people went on following Joab to pursue after Seba the son of Bochri.”
“When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.”
“When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab, to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri.”
But Amasa did not notice the sword that Joab had. And he struck him in the side, and his intestines poured out to the ground. And he did not inflict a second wound, and he died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba, the son of Bichri.
Meanwhile, certain men, from the company of Joab, when they had stopped beside the dead body of Amasa, said: “Behold, the one who wished to be in the place of Joab, the companion of David.”
Now Amasa was covered with blood, and was lying in the middle of the road. A certain man saw this, with all the people standing nearby to look at him, and he removed Amasa from the road into a field. And he covered him with a garment, so that those passing by would not stop because of him.
Then, when he had been removed from the road, all the men continued on, following Joab in the pursuit of Sheba, the son of Bichri.
Now he had passed through all the tribes of Israel into Abel and Bethmaacah. And all the elect men had gathered together to him.
And so, they went and besieged him at Abel and Bethmaacah. And they surrounded the city with siege works, and the city was blockaded. Then the entire crowd who were with Joab strove to destroy the walls.
And a wise woman exclaimed from the city: “Listen, listen, and say to Joab: Draw near, and I will speak with you.”
