1 Kings 2:28-31

28And the reportH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097 (for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 after AdonijahH138, though he had not turnedH5186 after AbsalomH53); and JoabH3097 fledH5127 to the tentH168 of Jehovah, and caught holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.

29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 had fledH5127 to the tentH168 of Jehovah; and behold, he is by the altarH4196. And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH7971, fallH6293 on him.

30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tentH168 of Jehovah and saidH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428: ComeH935 forthH3318. And he saidH559, No; for I will dieH4191 hereH6311. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH935 the kingH4428 wordH1697 again, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saidH559 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answered me.

31And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, Do as he has saidH559, and fallH6293 upon him, and buryH6912 him; and take awayH5493 the innocent bloodH1818, which JoabH3097 shedH8210, from me and from the houseH1004 of my fatherH1.
