2 Samuel 3:22-27
22And beholdH2009, 1the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 and JoabH3097 cameH935 from a raidH1416 and broughtH935 muchH7227 spoilH7998 with them; but AbnerH74 was not with DavidH1732 in HebronH2275, for he had sentH7971 him awayH7971, and he had goneH1980 in peaceH7965. 23When JoabH3097 and allH3605 the armyH6635 that was with him arrivedH935, they toldH5046 JoabH3097, sayingH559, “AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369 cameH935 to the kingH4428, and he has sentH7971 him awayH7971, and he has goneH1980 in peaceH7965.” 24Then JoabH3097 cameH935 to the kingH4428 and saidH559, “WhatH4100 have you doneH6213? BeholdH2009, AbnerH74 cameH935 to you; whyH4100 thenH2088 have you sentH7971 him awayH7971 and he is alreadyH1980 goneH1980? 25You knowH3045 AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, that he cameH935 to deceiveH6601 you and to learnH3045 of 2your goingH4161 out and comingH4126 in and to findH3045 out allH3605 that you are doingH6213.”
26When JoabH3097 cameH3318 out from DavidH1732, he sentH7971 messengersH4397 afterH310 AbnerH74, and they broughtH7725 him backH7725 from the wellH953 of SirahH5626; but DavidH1732 did not knowH3045 it. 27So when AbnerH74 returnedH7725 to HebronH2275, JoabH3097 tookH5186 him asideH5186 into the middleH8432 of the gateH8179 to speakH1696 with him privatelyH7987, and thereH8033 3he struckH5221 him in the bellyH2570 so that he diedH4191 on account of the bloodH1818 of AsahelH6214 his brotherH251.
