Contextual Overview
4 Then the king said to Amasa, "Call the men of Judah to come to me within three days, and you be here yourself." 5 So Amasa went to call out the men of Judah. But he took longer than the time which had been given him. 6 David said to Abishai, "Now Bichri's son Sheba will bring us more trouble than Absalom. Take your lord's servants and go after him. Or he might find strong cities for himself, and get away from us." 7 So Joab's men went out after him. With them went the Cherethites, the Pelethites and all the strong men. They left Jerusalem to go after Sheba the son of Bichri. 8 Amasa came to meet them at the large stone in Gibeon. Now Joab was dressed in soldier's clothing. Over his clothing was a belt with a sword in its holder tied at his side. As he walked, the sword fell out. 9 Joab said to Amasa, "Is it well with you, my brother?" And he took Amasa by the hair of his face with his right hand to kiss him. 10 But Amasa did not see the sword which was in Joab's hand. So Joab hit him in the stomach with it, and poured his inside parts out on the ground. He did not hit him again, and Amasa died. Then Joab and his brother Abishai went after Sheba the son of Bichri. 11 Now one of Joab's young men stood by him and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab." 12 But Amasa lay in his blood in the center of the road. When the man saw that all the people stood still, he took Amasa out of the road and into the field. And he threw a covering over him. 13 After he was taken out of the road, all the men went on and followed Joab to go after Sheba the son of Bichri.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When he was removed out of the highway,.... Into the field, and covered over with a cloth, that he could not be seen:
all the people went on after Joab; made no stop at all, knowing nothing of the matter, or what had happened:
to pursue after Sheba the son of Bichri; these were the troops that Amasa had been assembling, which followed one another after him; for Joab and Abishai, with their men, were at Gibeon first.
