And it was [so], that when any man came near [to him] to do him obesiance (bowing or kneeling in respect), he put forth his hand, and took him, and kissed him.
So Yo’av [Yehovah is father] came to the king, and told him: and when he had called for Avshalom [my father is peace], he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Avshalom [my father is peace].
And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] said to ‘Amasa [burden], [Are] youi in health, my brother? And Yo’av [Yehovah is father] took ‘Amasa [burden] by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.
