*
And Abner said unto David ,
I will arise and go ,
and will gather all Israel unto my lord the king ,
that they may make a league with thee ,
and that thou mayest reign over all that thine heart desireth .
And David sent #
Abner away ;
and he went in peace .
*
And ,
behold ,
the servants of David and Joab came from pursuing a troop ,
and brought in a great spoil with them :
but Abner was not with David in Hebron ;
for he had sent him away ,
and he was gone in peace .
*
When Joab and all the host that was with him were come ,
they told Joab Yow #
ab #,
saying ,
Abner the son of Ner came to the king ,
and he hath sent him away ,
and he is gone in peace .
*
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 #
H8432the gate to speak with him quietly ,
and smote him there under the fifth rib ,
that he died ,
for the blood of Asahel #
Asah #
el #
his brother .
