1 Kings 2:28-31

28And the tidings cameH935 to JoabH3097; for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 after AdonijahH138, though he turnedH5186 not after AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of Jehovah, and caught holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196. 29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010, JoabH3097 is fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of Jehovah, and, behold, he is by the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH7971, fallH6293 upon him. 30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the TentH168 of Jehovah, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, ComeH935 forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 hereH6311. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH935 the kingH4428 wordH1697 again, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saidH559 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answered me. 31And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, Do as he hath saidH559, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest take awayH5493 the bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210 without causeH2600, from me and from my father’sH1 houseH1004.
