2 Samuel 3:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ And when all the people came to take meat with David, while it was yet broad day, David swore, saying: So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread or any thing else before sunset.

³⁶ And all the people heard, and they were pleased, and all that the king did seemed good in the sight of all the people.

³⁷ And all the people, and all Israel understood that day that it was not the king's doing, that Abner the son of Ner was slain.
