1 Kings 2:28-35
28And the tidingsH8052 cameH935 to JoabH3097: for JoabH3097 had turnedH5186 afterH310 AdonijahH138, thoughH3588 he turnedH5186 notH3808 afterH310 AbsalomH53. And JoabH3097 fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and caughtH2388 holdH2388 on the hornsH7161 of the altarH4196.
29And it was toldH5046 kingH4428 SolomonH8010, JoabH3097 is fledH5127 unto the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and, beholdH2009, he is by the altarH4196. Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077, sayingH559, GoH7971, fallH6293 uponH413 him.
30And BenaiahH1141 cameH935 to the TentH168 of the LORDH3068, and saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith the kingH4428, ComeH935 forthH3318. And he saidH559, Nay; but I will dieH4191 hereH6311. And BenaiahH1141 broughtH935 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saidH559 JoabH3097, and thusH3541 he answeredH559 meH413.
31And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto him, DoH6213 as he hath saidH559, and fallH6293 uponH5921 him, and buryH6912 him; that thou mayest takeH5493 awayH5493 the bloodH1818, whichH834 JoabH3097 shedH8210 withoutH2600 causeH2600, from meH5921 and from my father’sH1 houseH1004.
32And the LORDH3068 shall returnH7725 his bloodH1818 uponH5921 his ownH376 headH7218, becauseH5921 he fellH6293 uponH5921 twoH8147 menH376 moreH4480 righteousH6662 and betterH2896 thanH4480 he, and slewH2026 them with the swordH2719, and my fatherH1 DavidH1732 knewH3045 it notH3808, to wit, AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of IsraelH3478, and AmasaH6021 the sonH1121 of JetherH3500, captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of JudahH3063.
33SoH1961 shall their bloodH1818 returnH7725 uponH1961 the headH7218 of JoabH3097, and uponH1961 the headH7218 of his seedH2233 for everH5769: but unto DavidH1732, and unto his seedH2233, and unto his houseH1004, and unto his throneH3678, shall there be peaceH7965 for everH5769 from the LORDH3068.
34Then BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 wentH5927 upH5927, and fellH6293 uponH6293 him, and slew him; and he was buriedH6912 in his own houseH1004 in the wildernessH4057.
35And the kingH4428 putH5414 BenaiahH1141 the sonH1121 of JehoiadaH3077 in his room over the hostH6635: and ZadokH6659 the priestH3548 did the kingH4428 putH5414 in the room of AbiatharH54.
