Translations
But Amasa never saw the sword in Joab's other hand. Joab drove it into his stomach, and his intestines poured out on the ground—one blow, no second strike needed—and Amasa was dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pressed on in pursuit of Sheba son of Bichri.
But Amasa did not notice the sword in Yoav's other hand. He struck him with it in the belly and spilled his entrails onto the ground—one blow was enough; he did not need to strike him again—and he died. Then Yoav and Avishai his brother pursued Sheva ben Bichri.
But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth rib, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Amasa was not on guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach and spilled out his intestines on the ground. And Joab did not need to strike him again, for Amasa was dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
