1 Kings 2:29-34

29And it was reportedH5046 to KingH4428 SolomonH8010 that JoabH3097 had fledH5127 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068, and 1was besideH681 the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 2sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, “3GoH1980, 4executeH6293 him.”

30So BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the tentH168 of the LordH3068 and saidH559 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the kingH4428 has saidH559: ‘ComeH3318 outH3318.’” But he saidH559, “NoH3808, for I will dieH4191 hereH6311.” So BenaiahH1141 broughtH7725 backH7725 wordH1697 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 JoabH3097 spokeH1696, and soH3541 he answeredH6030 me.”

31And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “5DoH6213 justH3512 asH3512 he has spokenH1696, and 6executeH6293 him and buryH6912 him, 7so that you may removeH5493 fromH5493 me and from my father’sH1 houseH1004 the bloodH1818 whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 8justificationH2600.

329The LordH3068 will returnH7725 his bloodH1818 on his own headH7218, 10becauseH834 he 11struckH6293 twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 thanH4480 he, and killedH2026 them with the swordH2719, while my fatherH1 DavidH1732 did not knowH3045 about it: 12AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478, and 13AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of JudahH3063.

3314So their bloodH1818 shall returnH7725 on the headH7218 of JoabH3097 and on the headH7218 of his 15descendantsH2233 foreverH5769; but for DavidH1732 and his 16descendantsH2233, and his houseH1004 and his throneH3678, may there be peaceH7965 from the LordH3068 foreverH5704H5769.”

34Then 17BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 upH5927 and 18struckH6293 him and putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, and he was buriedH6912 at his own houseH1004 19in the wildernessH4057.
