And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that every one that came by him stood still.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 20 of 2 Samuel. After Amasa’s murder, one of Joab’s men calls the people to follow him in pursuing Sheba. Amasa’s body remains on the road and is eventually removed. The narrative shows how quickly Joab maintains his position through military action and direct leadership. The commander’s effective authority sometimes appears to exceed David’s ability to discipline him, a weakness already visible after Abner’s murder.
