Scripture focus
When they [were] at the great stone which [is] in Gibeon, Amasa went before them. And Joab’s garment that he had put on was girded unto him, and upon it a girdle [with] a sword fastened upon his loins in the sheath thereof; and as he went forth it fell out.
2 Samuel 20:8 — KJV
Gideon. A town nearly 6 mi. (9.6 km.) northwest of Jerusalem, now ej-Jib.
Went before them. Or, “came into their presence.” It seems that Amasa gathered his troops and followed Abishai northward.
It fell out. The details are not entirely clear. Joab was wearing a military cloak bound about with a girdle into which he had thrust his dagger. As he was walking along, the dagger dropped out. Some think he stooped down and picked it up with his left hand as Amasa appeared. Others think that he may have had another weapon, concealed, and dropped his sword to make it appear that he was unarmed.
