Thematic Bible: The treacherous kiss


Thematic Bible



Joab asked Amasa, “Are you well, my brother?” Then with his right hand Joab grabbed Amasa by the beard to kiss him.

When a person approached to bow down to him, Absalom reached out his hand, took hold of him, and kissed him.


So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi!”—and kissed Him.
