2 Samuel 3:28-30

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁸ And afterward, when it came to David’s ear, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever concerning the blood of Abner, the son of Ner.

²⁹ “Let the blood fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s House, so that the House of Joab is never without some who have discharges, or are lepers, or who lean on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”

³⁰ So Joab and Abishai, his brother, killed Abner because he had killed their brother, Asahel, in battle at Gibeon.
