2 SAMUEL 20:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Joab said to Amasa, Art thou in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with the right hand to kiss him.”
And Joab said to Amasa, Is it well with you, my brother? — And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him — Joab greets Amasa with apparent friendship, taking his beard for a kiss—a gesture of affection. Yet the gesture is deceptive: it brings Amasa close and disarms him.
