2 Samuel 3:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Later on, David found out about it and proclaimed, “Let me and my kingdom remain guiltless forever in the Lord’s presence for the death^[a] of Ner’s son Abner. ²⁹ May judgment^[b] rest on Joab’s head and on his father’s entire household. May Joab’s dynasty never be without one who has a discharge,^[c] who is a leper, who walks with a cane,^[d] who commits suicide,^[e] or who lacks food!” ³⁰ He said this^[f] because Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner after he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.
