2 Samuel 13:32

2 Samuel 18:2

18:2 David then sent out the army – a third under the leadership of Joab, a third under the leadership of Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, and a third under the leadership of Ittai the Gittite. The king said to the troops, “I too will indeed march out with you.”

2 Samuel 20:10

20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab ³  stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s ⁴  intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. ⁵  Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.
