²³ When Joab and all the troops with him returned, Joab was told that Abner, Ner’s son, had come to the king and that David had sent him off in peace.

²⁴ Joab went to the king and asked, “What have you done? Abner came to you here! Why did you send him off? Now he’s gotten away! ²⁵ Don’t you know the evil ways of Abner, Ner’s son?^[a] He came to trick you, to find out where you come and go, and to learn everything you do!”
