2 Samuel 3:35-37

International Standard Version

³⁵ Everyone tried to persuade David to have a meal while there was still daylight, but David took an oath by saying, “May God to do like this to me and more, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”

³⁶ Everybody took note of this and was very pleased, just as everything else the king did pleased everyone. ³⁷ As a result, the entire army and all of Israel understood that day that the king had nothing to do with the murder of Ner’s son Abner.
