2 Samuel 20:12

Sheba’s Rebellion

11One of Joab’s young men stood near Amasa and said, “Whoever favors Joab, and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab!”12But Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were stopping there, he dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.13As soon as Amasa’s body was removed from the road, all the men went on with Joab to pursue Sheba son of Bichri.
