← 2 Samuel 3:28	2 Samuel 3:29 (KJV)	2 Samuel 3:30 →
And afterward when David heard [it], he said, I and my kingdom [are] guiltless before the LORD for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:	Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.	So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
