2 i Samuelit 20:12

Shqip Bible

Por Amasa po përpëlitej në gjak, në mes të rrugës. Kur ai njeri vuri re që tërë populli po ndalej, e tërhoqi zvarrë Amasan jashtë rrugës në një fushë dhe i hodhi sipër një mantel, sepse të gjithë ata që i afroheshin ndaleshin.

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 2:23 - stood still 2 Samuel 20:13 - the highway

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the highway,.... By which it seems, that though the wound was mortal, and of which he died, that as yet there was life in him, and through the pain he was in, and the pangs of death on him, he rolled himself about in his own blood in the high road, where the fact was committed:

and when the man saw that all the people stood still; gazing at the shocking sight, and could not be prevailed upon to go on:

he removed Amasa out of the highway into the field; which was adjoining to it:

and cast a cloth upon him; that the body might not be seen:

when he saw that everyone that came by him stood still; and so retarded the people in their march, to prevent which he took the above method, and it was a very prudent one.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

All the people ... - i. e., the levies which Amanda had been leading to Jerusalem; they were irresolute as to what they should do, and the stoppage at Amasa’s body very nearly led to their refusing to follow Joab. But upon the prompt removal and hiding of the body they passed on and followed Joab, their old captain.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 20:12. Amasa wallowed in blood — It is very likely that Amasa did not immediately die; I have known instances of persons living several hours after their bowels had been shed out.
