Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the road, and the man saw that all the troops came to a halt there. When he realised that everyone who came up to Amasa stopped, he dragged him from the road into a field and threw a garment over him.
After Amasa had been removed from the road, everyone went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bikri.
That is not the case. A man named Sheba son of Bikri, from the hill country of Ephraim, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Hand over this one man, and I’ll withdraw from the city.’ The woman said to Joab, ‘His head will be thrown to you from the wall.’
Then the king said to Amasa, ‘Summon the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and be here yourself.’
He looked up at the window and called out, ‘Who is on my side? Who?’ Two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
