2 Samuel 3:33-38

33And the kingH4428 lamented for AbnerH74, and saidH559,

Should AbnerH74 dieH4191 as a foolH5036 dieth?34Thy handsH3027 were not boundH631, nor thy feetH7272 put into fettersH5178:As a man falleth before the children of iniquity, so didst thou fallH5307.

And all the peopleH5971 weptH1058 again over him. 35And all the peopleH5971 cameH935 to cause DavidH1732 to eatH1262 breadH3899 while it was yetH5750 dayH3117; but DavidH1732 sware, sayingH559, GodH430 do so to me, and more also, if I tasteH2938 breadH3899, or aught else, till the sunH8121 be down. 36And all the peopleH5971 took notice of it, and it pleased them; as whatsoever the kingH4428 did pleased all the peopleH5971. 37So all the peopleH5971 and all IsraelH3478 understood that dayH3117 that it wasH1961 not of the kingH4428 to slay AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369. 38And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, KnowH3045 ye not that there is a princeH8269 and a greatH1419 man fallenH5307 this dayH3117 in IsraelH3478?
