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.
Joab le dijo a Amasa: '¿Cómo estás, hermano mío?' Entonces Joab agarró a Amasa de la barba con su mano derecha como para besarlo.
Joab saludó a Amasa de manera aparentemente amistosa, tomándolo de la barba como si fuera a besarlo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical account of 2 Samuel, Joab was a loyal but ruthless military commander under King David who had been replaced by Amasa after a previous rebellion. When a new uprising led by Sheba threatened David's kingdom, Joab encountered Amasa on the road and used a customary ancient Near Eastern greeting, grasping the beard to kiss, as a deceptive ploy to gain the upper hand. This act highlights the themes of betrayal and political intrigue in the turbulent era of David's reign.
