1 Kings 2:32-34

Easy-to-Read Version

³² Joab killed two men who were much better than he was. He killed Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah. He did this without my father’s knowledge. But now the Lord will punish Joab for the men he killed. ³³ He and his family will always be guilty for their deaths. But the Lord will bring peace to David, his descendants, his family of kings, and his kingdom forever.”

³⁴ So Benaiah son of Jehoiada killed Joab, and he was buried near his home in the desert.
