37 So on that day all the troops and all Israel (he wrestles with God) were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner (my father is a lamp) son of Ner (lamp).

38 Then the king said to his servants, “Do you⁺ not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel (he wrestles with God)?

39 And I am weak this day, though anointed as king, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah (balsam), are too fierce for me. May the LORD {YHWH} repay the evildoer according to his evil!”
