- Joab:
- "And when Abnerª was returnedª° to Hebron,ª Joabª took him asideª° inªª the gateª to speakª° with¹ him quietly,ª and smoteª° him there¹ under the fifthª [rib], that he died,ª° for the bloodª of Asahelª his brother.ª" {2Sm 3:27} + "And he wroteª° in the letter,ª saying,ª° Setª° ye¹ Uriahª in¹ the forefrontªª of the hottestª battle,ª and retireª° ye from¹¹ him,² that he may be smitten,ª° and die.ª° ... Who¹ smoteª°¹ Abimelechª the sonª of Jerubbesheth?ª did not¹ a womanª castª° a pieceª of a millstoneª upon¹ him from¹¹ the wall,ª that he diedª° in Thebez?ª why¹ went ye nighª°¹ the wall?ª then sayª° thou, Thy servantª Uriahª the Hittiteª is deadª° also.¹" {2Sm 11:15-21} + "And Joabª saidª° to Amasa,ª [Art] thou¹ in health,ª my brother?ª And Joabª tookª° Amasaª by the beardª with the rightª handª to kissª° him. ... But Amasaª took no¹ heedª° to the swordª that¹ [was] in Joab'sª hand:ª so he smoteª° him therewith in¹ the fifthª [rib], and shed outª° his bowelsª to the ground,ª and struck¹ him not¹ again;²° and he died.ª° So Joabª and Abishaiª his brotherª pursuedª° afterª Shebaª the sonª of Bichri.ª" {2Sm 20:9-10}
