2 Samuel 3:22-32

And, behold, the servants
<05650>

of David
<01732>

and Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8802)

from [pursuing] a troop
<01416>_,

and brought in
<0935> (8689)

a great
<07227>

spoil
<07998>

with them: but Abner
<074>

[was] not with David
<01732>

in Hebron
<02275>_;

for he had sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,

and he was gone
<03212> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_.

When Joab
<03097>

and all the host
<06635>

that [was] with him were come
<0935> (8804)_,

they told
<05046> (8686)

Joab
<03097>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>

came
<0935> (8804)

to the king
<04428>_,

and he hath sent him away
<07971> (8762)_,

and he is gone
<03212> (8799)

in peace
<07965>_.

Then Joab
<03097>

came
<0935> (8799)

to the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

What hast thou done
<06213> (8804)_?

behold, Abner
<074>

came
<0935> (8802)

unto thee; why [is] it [that] thou hast sent him away
<07971> (8765)_,

and he is quite
<01980> (8800)

gone
<03212> (8799)_?

Thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_,

that he came
<0935> (8804)

to deceive
<06601> (8763)

thee, and to know
<03045> (8800)

thy going out
<04161>

and thy coming in
<04126> (8675) <03996>_,

and to know
<03045> (8800)

all that thou doest
<06213> (8802)_.

And when Joab
<03097>

was come out
<03318> (8799)

from David
<01732>_,

he sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

after
<0310>

Abner
<074>_,

which brought him again
<07725> (8686)

from the well
<0953>

of Sirah
<05626>_:

but David
<01732>

knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] not.

And when Abner
<074>

was returned
<07725> (8799)

to Hebron
<02275>_,

Joab
<03097>

took him aside
<05186> (8686)

in
<0413> <08432>

the gate
<08179>

to speak
<01696> (8763)

with him quietly
<07987>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

him there under the fifth
<02570>

[rib], that he died
<04191> (8799)_,

for the blood
<01818>

of Asahel
<06214>

his brother
<0251>_.

{quietly: or, peaceably}

And afterward
<0310>

when David
<01732>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I and my kingdom
<04467>

[are] guiltless
<05355>

before the LORD
<03068>

for
<05704>

ever
<05769>

from the blood
<01818>

of Abner
<074>

the son
<01121>

of Ner
<05369>_:

{blood: Heb. bloods}

Let it rest
<02342> (8799)

on the head
<07218>

of Joab
<03097>_,

and on all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_;

and let there not fail
<03772> (8735)

from the house
<01004>

of Joab
<03097>

one that hath an issue
<02100> (8802)_,

or that is a leper
<06879> (8794)_,

or that leaneth
<02388> (8688)

on a staff
<06418>_,

or that falleth
<05307> (8802)

on the sword
<02719>_,

or that lacketh
<02638>

bread
<03899>_.

{fail: Heb. be cut off}

So Joab
<03097>

and Abishai
<052>

his brother
<0251>

slew
<02026> (8804)

Abner
<074>_,

because he had slain
<04191> (8689)

their brother
<0251>

Asahel
<06214>

at Gibeon
<01391>

in the battle
<04421>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Joab
<03097>_,

and to all the people
<05971>

that [were] with him, Rend
<07167> (8798)

your clothes
<0899>_,

and gird
<02296> (8798)

you with sackcloth
<08242>_,

and mourn
<05594> (8798)

before
<06440>

Abner
<074>_.

And king
<04428>

David
<01732>

[himself] followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>

the bier
<04296>_.

{bier: Heb. bed}

And they buried
<06912> (8799)

Abner
<074>

in Hebron
<02275>_:

and the king
<04428>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)

at the grave
<06913>

of Abner
<074>_;

and all the people
<05971>

wept
<01058> (8799)_.
