וַיֹּאמֶר יוֹאָב לַעֲמָשָׂא הֲשָׁלוֹם אַתָּה אָחִי וַתֹּחֶז יַד־יְמִין יוֹאָב בִּזְקַן עֲמָשָׂא לִנְשׇׁק־לֽוֹ׃
Yoav said to Amosoh, "How are you, my brother?" Yoav grabbed Amosoh's beard with his right hand to kiss him.

וַעֲמָשָׂא לֹא־נִשְׁמַר בַּחֶרֶב ׀ אֲשֶׁר בְּיַד־יוֹאָב וַיַּכֵּהוּ בָהּ אֶל־הַחֹמֶשׁ וַיִּשְׁפֹּךְ מֵעָיו אַרְצָה וְלֹא־שָׁנָה לוֹ וַיָּמֹת וְיוֹאָב וַאֲבִישַׁי אָחִיו רָדַף אַחֲרֵי שֶׁבַע בֶּן־בִּכְרִֽי׃
Amosoh was not watching out for the sword that was in Yoav's hand. He [Yoav] struck him with it into his fifth rib. and his insides poured out unto the ground, and he did not strike him again, for he died [instantly]. Yoav and his brother Avishai [then] chased after Sheva, the son of Bichiri.

וְאִישׁ עָמַד עָלָיו מִֽנַּעֲרֵי יוֹאָב וַיֹּאמֶר מִי אֲשֶׁר חָפֵץ בְּיוֹאָב וּמִי אֲשֶׁר־לְדָוִד אַחֲרֵי יוֹאָֽב׃
One of Yoav's young men stood by [the corpse] and said, "Whoever likes Yoav and whoever sides with Dovid should [follow] after Yoav.

וַעֲמָשָׂא מִתְגֹּלֵל בַּדָּם בְּתוֹךְ הַֽמְסִלָּה וַיַּרְא הָאִישׁ כִּֽי־עָמַד כׇּל־הָעָם וַיַּסֵּב אֶת־עֲמָשָׂא מִן־הַֽמְסִלָּה הַשָּׂדֶה וַיַּשְׁלֵךְ עָלָיו בֶּגֶד כַּאֲשֶׁר רָאָה כׇּל־הַבָּא עָלָיו וְעָמָֽד׃
Amosoh was rolling in [his own] blood in the road. The man saw that the people stood in their places and [so] he removed Amosoh from the road out to the field and threw a cloth over it when he saw that all who passed by it remained there.

Rashi
כאשר הוגה. כאשר הומשך, כמו (משלי כה ד): הגו סיגים מכסף ; וכמו (שם פסוק ה): הגו רשע לפני מלך:
When it was withdrawn. When it was removed as we find. "When the impurities are removed from silver",5Mishlei 25:4. and as find "When the wicked are removed from before the king".6Ibid, 25:5.
וַֽיַּעֲבֹר בְּכׇל־שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אָבֵלָה וּבֵית מַעֲכָה וְכׇל־הַבֵּרִים {ס} (ויקלהו) [וַיִּקָּהֲלוּ] וַיָּבֹאוּ אַף־אַחֲרָֽיו׃
He [Shevah] went through all the tribes of Yisroel, to Oveil, Beis Ma'achoh and all the Beirim. They [Yoav's men] gathered together and went after him.

ויעבר בכל שבטי ישראל. שבע בן בכרי, לפתותם שימליכוהו עליהם:
He [Shevah] went through all the tribes of Yisroel. Shevah, the son of Bichri [went] to convince them to declare him king over them.
וכל הברים. לא ידעתי מהו:
All the Beirim. I do not know what it is.
כאשר ראה כל הבא עליו ועמד. כאשר ראה האיש, שכל הבא עליו היה עומד:
When he saw that all who passed by it remained there. When the man saw that everyone who passed by it would remain there.
