2 Samuel 3:33-38
331The king chanted a lament for Abner and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?34Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in fetters; As one falls before the 2wicked, you have fallen.” And all the people wept again over him. 35Then all the people came 3to 4persuade David to eat bread while it was still day; but David vowed, saying, “5May God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else 6before the sun goes down.” 36Now all the people took note of it, and it 7pleased them, just as everything the king did 8pleased all the people. 37So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been the will of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death. 38Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
