took Amasa   "Thevenot says, that among the Turks it is a great afront to take one by the beard, unless it be to kiss him, in which case they often do it. D'Arvieux, describing an assembly of Arab emirs at an entertainment, says, ""After the usual civilities, caresses, kissings of the beard, and of the hand, which every one gave and received according to his rank and dignity, they sat down upon mats."" The doing this by the Arab emirs corresponds with the conduct of Joab, and illustrates this horrid assassination."
to kiss him   Mat 26:48,49; Luk 22:47,48
