gltv - 2Samuel:3:22-39

gltv@2Samuel:3:22 @ And, behold, the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop. And they brought much plunder with them. And Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away; and he had gone in peace.

gltv@2Samuel:3:23 @ And Joab and all the army with him had come. And they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner has come to the king. And he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.

gltv@2Samuel:3:24 @ And Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? Behold, Abner has come to you; why is this, that you have sent him away, and he is already gone?

gltv@2Samuel:3:25 @ You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you are doing.

gltv@2Samuel:3:26 @ And Joab left David, and sent messengers after Abner. And they brought him back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know it.

gltv@2Samuel:3:27 @ And Abner returned to Hebron. And Joab turned him aside into the middle of the gate, to speak with him privately. And he struck him in the belly there, and he died, because of the blood of his brother Asahel.

gltv@2Samuel:3:28 @ And afterward David heard, and said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before Jehovah forever from the blood of Abner the son of Her.

gltv@2Samuel:3:29 @ May it whirl about the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or that lacks bread!

gltv@2Samuel:3:30 @ And Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in Gibeon, in battle.

gltv@2Samuel:3:31 @ And David said to Joab, and to all the people with him, Tear your garments and gird on sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David was following after the bier.

gltv@2Samuel:3:32 @ And they buried Abner in Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner; and all the people wept.

gltv@2Samuel:3:33 @ And the king lamented for Abner, and said, Should Abner die as it were like a fool?

gltv@2Samuel:3:34 @ Your hands were not bound, nor your feet put into fetters. As one falls before sons of evil, you have fallen! And all the people wept again over him.

gltv@2Samuel:3:35 @ And all the people came to cause David to eat food while it was yet day. But David swore, saying, So may God do to me, and still more, if I taste bread or anything before the sun goes in.

gltv@2Samuel:3:36 @ And all the people took notice, and it was good in their eyes. As to all the king did, it was good in the eyes of all the people.

gltv@2Samuel:3:37 @ And all the people, even all Israel, knew in that day that it was not from the king to kill Abner the son of Her.

gltv@2Samuel:3:38 @ And the king said to his servants, Do you not know that a leader and a great one has fallen this day in Israel?

gltv@2Samuel:3:39 @ And I am weak today, though anointed king. And these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me. May Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his evil!
