2 Samuel 3:22-27

22And, behold, the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 and JoabH3097 cameH935 from a foray, and broughtH935 in a greatH7227 spoilH7998 with them: but AbnerH74 was not with DavidH1732 in HebronH2275; for he had sentH7971 him awayH7971, and he was goneH935 in peaceH7965. 23WhenH834 JoabH3097 and all the hostH6635 that was with him were comeH935, they toldH5046 JoabH3097, sayingH559, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and he hath sentH7971 him awayH7971, and he is goneH935 in peaceH7965. 24Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and saidH559, What hast thou done? behold, AbnerH74 cameH935 unto thee; whyH4100 is it that thou hast sentH7971 him awayH7971, and he is quite goneH1980? 25Thou knowest AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, that he cameH935 to deceive thee, and to knowH3045 thy goingH935 out and thy comingH935 in, and to knowH3045 all that thou doest. 26And when JoabH3097 was comeH3318 out from DavidH1732, he sentH7971 messengersH4397 after AbnerH74, and they broughtH3318 him backH7725 from the well of Sirah: but DavidH1732 knewH3045 it not.

27And when AbnerH74 was returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 took him asideH5186 into the midstH8432 of the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him quietly, and smote him there in the body, so that he diedH4191, for the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251.
