1 Kings 2:29-34
29It was toldH5046 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 had fledH5127 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068, and beholdH2009, he is besideH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 1sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, “2GoH1980, 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, “3DoH6213 as he has spokenH1696 and fallH6293 upon him and buryH6912 him, 4that you may removeH5493 from me and from my father’sH1 houseH1004 the bloodH1818 whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 causeH2600.
325The LordH3068 will returnH7725 his bloodH1818 on his own headH7218, 6becauseH834 he fellH6293 upon twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 thanH4480 he and killedH2026 them with the swordH2719, while my fatherH1 DavidH1732 did not knowH3045 it: 7AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478, and 8AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of JudahH3063.
339So shall their bloodH1818 returnH7725 on the headH7218 of JoabH3097 and on the headH7218 of his 10descendantsH2233 foreverH5769; but to DavidH1732 and his 11descendantsH2233 and his houseH1004 and his throneH3678, may there be peaceH7965 from the LordH3068 foreverH5704H5769.”
34Then 12BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 up and fellH6293 upon him and putH4191 him to deathH4191, and he was buriedH6912 at his own houseH1004 13in the wildernessH4057.
