2 Samuel 3:28-37

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. 32And they buriedH6912 AbnerH74 in HebronH2275; and the kingH4428 raisedH5375 his voiceH6963 and weptH1058 at 6the graveH6913 of AbnerH74, and allH3605 the peopleH5971 weptH1058. 33And 7the kingH4428 sangH6969 aH6969 songH6969 ofH6969 mourningH6969 for AbnerH74 and saidH559, “Should AbnerH74 dieH4191 as a foolH5036 diesH4194?34Your handsH3027 were not boundH631, norH3808 your feetH7272 putH5066 in bronzeH5178 shacklesH5178; As one fallsH5307 beforeH6440 the 8wickedH5767H1121, you have fallenH5307.” And allH3605 the peopleH5971 weptH1058 overH5921 him againH3254. 35Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 cameH935 9to provideH1262 10foodH3899 for DavidH1732 in his distress while it was stillH5750 dayH3117; but DavidH1732 vowedH7650, sayingH559, “11May GodH430 doH6213 soH3541 to me, and moreH3254 soH3541, ifH3588H518 I tasteH2938 breadH3899 orH176 anythingH3972 elseH3605 12beforeH6440 the sunH8121 goesH935 down.” 36Now allH3605 the peopleH5971 tookH5234 noteH5234 of David’s vow, and it 13pleasedH3190H5869 them, just as everythingH3605 that the kingH4428 didH6213 14pleasedH2895H5869 allH3605 the peopleH5971. 37So allH3605 the peopleH5971 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 understoodH3045 on that dayH3117 that it had not beenH1961 the desire of the kingH4428 to putH4191 AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369 toH4191 deathH4191.
