2 Samuel 3:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ When Joab returned with his entire army, Joab was informed, “Ner’s son Abner visited the king, and he has dismissed him. He has left in peace.”

²⁴ So Joab approached the king and asked him, “What have you done? Look, Abner came to you! What’s this? You sent him away? He’s long gone now! ²⁵ You know Ner’s son Abner came to mislead you, to learn your troop movements,^[a] and to learn everything you’re doing!”
