Joab's men, the Cherethites, Pelethites, and all the soldiers went with Abishai. They left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of Bichri. Amasa met them at the large rock in Gibeon.

He took hold of Amasa's beard with his right hand to kiss him. Amasa was not on guard against the sword in Joab's left hand. Joab stabbed him in the stomach.
