2 Samuel 20:10

But Amasa took no heed to the sword that [was] in Joab's hand: so he smote him therewith in the fifth [rib], and shed out his bowels to the ground, and struck him not again; and he died. So Joab and Abishai his brother pursued after Sheba the son of Bichri.

But Amasa {H6021} took no heed {H8104} to the sword {H2719} that was in Joab's {H3097} hand {H3027}: so he smote {H5221} him therewith in the fifth {H2570} rib, and shed out {H8210} his bowels {H4578} to the ground {H776}, and struck him not again {H8138}; and he died {H4191}. So Joab {H3097} and Abishai {H52} his brother {H251} pursued {H7291} after {H310} Sheba {H7652} the son {H1121} of Bichri {H1075}.

'Amasa took no notice of the sword in Yo'av's hand, so Yo'av stabbed him in the groin. His insides poured out on the ground, and he died without being stabbed a second time. Yo'av and Avishai his brother continued in pursuit of Sheva the son of Bikhri.

Amasa was not on guard against the dagger in Joab’s hand, and Joab stabbed him in the stomach and spilled out his intestines on the ground. And Joab did not need to strike him again, for Amasa was dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of Bichri.
