2 Samuel 3:27-30

27When AbnerH74 returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 pulled him asideH5186 intoH413 the gatewayH8179, as if to speakH1696 to him privatelyH854H7987, and thereH8033 Joab stabbed himH5221 in the stomachH2570. So Abner diedH4191 on account of the bloodH1818 of Joab’s brotherH251 AsahelH6214.

28AfterwardH3651, DavidH1732 heardH8085 about thisH310 and saidH559, “IH595 and my kingdomH4467 are foreverH5704H5769 guiltlessH5355 beforeH5973 the LORDH3068 concerning the bloodH1818 of AbnerH74 sonH1121 of NerH5369. 29May it whirlH2342 overH5921 the headH7218 of JoabH3097 and overH413 the entireH3605 houseH1004 of his fatherH1, and may the houseH1004 of JoabH3097 neverH408 be withoutH3772 one having a dischargeH2100 or skin diseaseH6879, or one who leansH2388 on a staffH6418 or fallsH5307 by the swordH2719 or lacksH2638 foodH3899.”

30(JoabH3097 and his brotherH251 AbishaiH52 murderedH2026 AbnerH74 becauseH5921 he had killedH4191 their brotherH251 AsahelH6214 in the battleH4421 at GibeonH1391.)
