2 Samuel 3:24-26

International Standard Version

²⁴ So Joab approached the king and asked him, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you! What’s this? You sent him away? He’s long gone now! ²⁵ You know Ner’s son Abner came to mislead you, to learn your troop movements,^[a] and to learn everything you’re doing!”

²⁶ As soon as Joab left David, Joab^[b] sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah, but David was not aware of this.
