⁸ When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

¹³ And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.

³⁰ So Joab and Abishai his brother put Abner to death, because he had put to death their brother Asahel in the fight at Gibeon.

⁴ Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.

⁵ So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.
