³² The Lord will repay^(A) him for the blood he shed,^(B) because without my father David knowing it he attacked two men and killed them with the sword. Both of them—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa^(C) son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army—were better^(D) men and more upright than he.

Jehoram King of Judah^(A)

⁴ When Jehoram established^(B) himself firmly over his father’s kingdom, he put all his brothers^(C) to the sword along with some of the officials of Israel.
