27 And Abner had returned to Hebron, and Joab took him to the midst of the gate to speak with him privately, and he struck him there in the stomach, and he died on account of the blood of Asah-el his brother. 28 And David heard it after thus, and he said, “I and My kingdom are guiltless before YHWH, even to forever, of the blood of Abner son of Ner. 29 Let it rest on the head of Joab and on all the house of his father, and never let there fail to be in the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or falls by the sword, or is lacking bread.” 30 (And Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, upon that he had killed Asahel their brother at Gibeon in the battle.) 2 Samuel 3:27-30, Berean Literal Bible.
