“ Now you yourself know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me— what he did to the two commanders of Israel’s armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He killed them, shedding their blood in peacetime as if in battle, and with that blood he stained the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet.

“ You yourself know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me. You know that he killed Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether. They were the two commanders of Israel’s armies. He killed them in a time of peace. It wasn’t a time of war. Joab spilled the blood of Abner and Amasa. With that blood he stained the belt around his waist. He also stained the sandals on his feet.

“ Moreover, you also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, how he dealt with the two commanders of the armies of Israel, Abner the son of Ner, and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, avenging in time of peace for blood that had been shed in war, and putting the blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the sandals on his feet.

“ And there is something else. You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me when he murdered my two army commanders, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He pretended that it was an act of war, but it was done in a time of peace, staining his belt and sandals with innocent blood.

“ You also know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me and what he did to the two commanders of Israel’s army, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. He murdered them in a time of peace to avenge blood shed in war. He spilled that blood on his own waistband and on the sandals of his feet.

“ Now you yourself also know what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed; he also shed the blood of war in peace. And he put the blood of war on his belt that was on his waist, and on his sandals that were on his feet.

Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did unto me, even what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet.

押尼珥回到希伯仑，约押领他到城门中间，要与他私下交谈，就在那里刺穿了他的肚腹。他就死了，因为他流了约押兄弟亚撒黑的血。

亚玛撒没有防备约押手里拿着的刀；约押用刀刺入他的肚腹，他的肠子流在地上，约押没有再刺，他就死了。约押和他弟弟亚比筛往前追赶比基利的儿子示巴。

王嘱咐约押、亚比筛、以太说：“你们要为我的缘故宽待那年轻人押沙龙。”王为押沙龙的事嘱咐众将领的话，所有的军兵都听见了。

那人对约押说：“即使我手里得了一千银子，也不敢伸手害王的儿子，因为我们听见王嘱咐你、亚比筛、以太说：‘你们要谨慎，不可害那年轻人押沙龙。’

我虽然受膏为王，今日还是软弱。洗鲁雅的两个儿子，这些人比我强硬。愿耶和华照着恶人所行的恶报应他。”

约押说：“我不能在你面前这样耗下去！”约押手拿三枝短枪，趁押沙龙在橡树上还活着，就刺透他的心。

在那里有洗鲁雅的三个儿子：约押、亚比筛、亚撒黑。亚撒黑的脚快如野地里的羚羊；

他们行可憎之事，应当羞愧；然而他们却一点也不觉得羞愧，也不知羞耻。因此，他们必与仆倒的人一同仆倒，我惩罚他们的时候，他们必跌倒。”这是耶和华说的。

耶和华必使约押的血归到他自己头上，因为他击杀两个比他又公义又良善的人，就是尼珥的儿子以色列的元帅押尼珥和益帖的儿子犹大的元帅亚玛撒，用刀杀了他们，我父亲大卫却不知道。

这城所流的血还在城中，血倒在光滑的磐石上，没有倒在地上，用土掩盖；是我使这城所流的血倒在光滑的磐石上，不得掩盖，为要惹动愤怒，施行报应。

你衣服的边上有无辜贫穷人的血，其实你并未发现他们挖洞进屋偷窃。虽有这一切的事，

押沙龙立亚玛撒作元帅，取代约押。亚玛撒是以实玛利人以特拉的儿子。以特拉曾与拿辖的女儿亚比该亲近；这亚比该与约押的母亲洗鲁雅是姊妹。

现在，看哪，亚多尼雅作王了，你，我主我王却不知道。他献许多牛羊、肥犊为祭，请了王的众儿子和亚比亚他祭司，以及约押元帅，他却没有请王的仆人所罗门。

约押进了宫到王那里，说：“你今日使你众臣仆的脸面羞愧了！他们今日救了你的性命和你儿女妻妾的性命，你却爱那些恨你的人，恨那些爱你的人。今日你摆明了不以将帅、臣仆为念。我今日看得出，若押沙龙活着，我们今日全都死了，你就高兴了。现在你要起来，出去安慰你臣仆的心。我指着耶和华起誓：你若不出去，今夜必没有一人跟你在一起了。这祸患比你从幼年到如今所遭受的更严重！”

亚多尼雅与洗鲁雅的儿子约押和亚比亚他祭司商议；他们就顺从亚多尼雅，帮助他。
