2 Samuel 3:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ You know Abner son of Ner! He came to trick you! He came to learn about everything you are doing!”

²⁶ Then Joab left David and sent messengers after Abner. They brought Abner back from the well of Sirah. But David did not know this. ²⁷ When Abner arrived at Hebron, Joab took him aside into the gateway. Joab acted as though he wanted to talk with him in private. But Joab stabbed Abner in the stomach, and Abner died. Abner had killed Joab’s brother Asahel. So Joab killed Abner to pay him back.
