1 Kings 2:31-34

31And the kingH4428 saidH559 to him, “1DoH6213 justH3512 asH3512 he has spokenH1696, and 2executeH6293 him and buryH6912 him, 3so that you may removeH5493 fromH5493 me and from my father’sH1 houseH1004 the bloodH1818 whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 4justificationH2600.

325The LordH3068 will returnH7725 his bloodH1818 on his own headH7218, 6becauseH834 he 7struckH6293 twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 thanH4480 he, and killedH2026 them with the swordH2719, while my fatherH1 DavidH1732 did not knowH3045 about it: 8AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of IsraelH3478, and 9AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of JudahH3063.

3310So their bloodH1818 shall returnH7725 on the headH7218 of JoabH3097 and on the headH7218 of his 11descendantsH2233 foreverH5769; but for DavidH1732 and his 12descendantsH2233, and his houseH1004 and his throneH3678, may there be peaceH7965 from the LordH3068 foreverH5704H5769.”

34Then 13BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 upH5927 and 14struckH6293 him and putH4191 him toH4191 deathH4191, and he was buriedH6912 at his own houseH1004 15in the wildernessH4057.
