'Killing' in the Bible

David made a name for himself when he returned from killing 18,000 Edomites in the Salt Valley.

Ten young men who served as Joab's personal assistants then surrounded Absalom, striking him repeatedly and killing him.

Amasa did not notice the sword that Joab was holding in his hand. Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, spilling his intestines to the ground in a single stroke and killing him. After this, Joab and his brother pursued Bichri's son Sheba.
