2 Samuel 15:20
15:20 It seems like you arrived just yesterday. Today should I make you wander around by going with us? I go where I must go. But as for you, go back and take your men 1 with you. May genuine loyal love 2 protect 3 you!”
2 Samuel 20:10
20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab 4 stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s 5 intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. 6 Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bicri.
