1 Kings 2:28-31

28Now the newsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097, 1for JoabH3097 had followedH5186H310 AdonijahH138, 2although he had not followedH310H5186 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068 and 3tookH2388 holdH2388 of the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.

29It was toldH5046 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 had fledH5127 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068, and beholdH2009, he is besideH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 4sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, “5GoH1980, fallH6293 upon him.”

30So BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068 and saidH559 to him, “ThusH3541 the kingH4428 has saidH559, ‘ComeH3318 out.’” But he saidH559, “NoH3808, for I will dieH4191 hereH6311.” And BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, “ThusH3541 spokeH1696 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answeredH6030 me.”

31The kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “6DoH6213 as he has spokenH1696 and fallH6293 upon him and buryH6912 him, 7that you may removeH5493 from me and from my father’sH1 houseH1004 the bloodH1818 whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 causeH2600.
