2 Samuel 3:27-30
27So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there 1he struck him in the belly, so that he died on account of the blood of his brother Asahel. 28Afterward, when David heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are innocent before the Lord forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner. 292May it turn upon the head of Joab and on all his father’s house; and may there not be eliminated from the house of Joab 3someone who suffers a discharge, or has leprosy, or 4holds the spindle, or falls by the sword, or lacks bread.” 30So Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner 5because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.
