37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it hath not been from the king -- to put to death Abner son of Ner.

38 And the king saith unto his servants, 'Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel?

39 and I to-day am tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.'
