11. One of Joab’s young men stood by Amasa’s body. The young man said, “Everyone who is for Joab and David should follow Joab!”
12. Amasa lay in the middle of the road, covered with his own blood. The young man saw that everyone was stopping to look at the body. So he dragged Amasa’s body from the road and laid it in a field. Then he put a cloth over it.
13. After Amasa’s body was taken off the road, all the men followed Joab. They went with him to chase Sheba son of Bicri.
