2 Samuel 3:33-38
33And 1the king sang a song of mourning for Abner and said, “Should Abner die as a fool dies?34Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put in bronze shackles; As one falls before the 2wicked, you have fallen.” And all the people wept over him again. 35Then all the people came 3to provide 4food for David in his distress while it was still day; but David vowed, saying, “5May God do so to me, and more so, if I taste bread or anything else 6before the sun goes down.” 36Now all the people took note of David’s vow, and it 7pleased them, just as everything that the king did 8pleased all the people. 37So all the people and all Israel understood on that day that it had not been the desire 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 leader and a great man has fallen in Israel this day?
