But Amasa took no heed to the sword that was in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the body, and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. And Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.
Forsoþe Amasa took not kepe of þe swerd, which swerd Joab hadde, and Joab smoot Amasa in þe side, and schedde out his entrailis in to þe erþe, and Amasa was deed; and Joab addide not þe secounde wounde. Forsoþe Joab and Abisai, his broþer, pursueden Siba, þe sone of Bochri.
