2 Samuel 3:28-31
28AfterwardH310, when DavidH1732 heardH8085 about this, he saidH559, “I and my kingdomH4467 are innocentH5355 beforeH4480H5973 the LordH3068 foreverH5704H5769 of the bloodH1818 of AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369. 291May it turnH2342 upon the headH7218 of JoabH3097 and on allH3605 his father’sH1 houseH1004; and may there not be eliminatedH3772 from the houseH1004 of JoabH3097 2someone who suffersH2100 a dischargeH2100, or has leprosyH6879, or 3holdsH2388 the spindleH6418, or fallsH5307 by the swordH2719, or lacksH2638 breadH3899.” 30So JoabH3097 and his brotherH251 AbishaiH52 killedH2026 AbnerH74 4becauseH5921H834 he had putH4191 their brotherH251 AsahelH6214 toH4191 deathH4191 in the battleH4421 at GibeonH1391.
31Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to JoabH3097 and to allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, “5TearH7167 your clothesH899 and putH2296 onH2296 sackclothH8242, and mournH5594 beforeH6440 AbnerH74.” And KingH4428 DavidH1732 walkedH1980 behindH310 the bierH4296.
