Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway.
When the man saw that all the people stood still, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.
When he was removed out of the highway, all the people went on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.
He went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel, to Beth Maacah, and all the Berites.
They were gathered together, and went also after him.
