2 Samuel 3:37-39

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁷ That day all the people of Israel knew the king wasn’t responsible for killing Ner’s son Abner. ³⁸ The king said to his officers, “Don’t you know that today a leader, a great man, has fallen in Israel? ³⁹ Today I’m weak, though I’m the anointed king. These men, Zeruiah’s sons, are too cruel for me. May the Lord repay this evildoer as his evil deeds deserve.”
