*
Then Joab came to the king ,
and said ,
What hast thou done ?
behold ,
Abner came unto thee ;
why is it that thou hast sent him away ,
and he is quite gone ?
*
Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner ,
that he came to deceive thee ,
and to know thy going out and thy coming in ,
and to know all that thou doest .
*
And when Joab was come out from David ,
he sent messengers after Abner ,
which brought him again from the well of Sirah :
but David knew it not .
*
And when Abner was returned to Hebron ,
Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly ,
and smote him there under the fifth rib ,
that he died ,
for the blood of Asahel his brother .
