2 Samuel 3:25-27

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁵ You know Abner son of Ner. He came to trick you. He came to learn all about what you are doing.”

²⁶ Joab left David and sent messengers to Abner at the well of Sirah. The messengers brought Abner back, but David did not know this. ²⁷ When Abner arrived at Hebron, Joab met him in the gateway, pulled him aside to talk in private, and then stabbed him in the stomach. So he got his revenge against Abner. Joab killed Abner because Abner had killed Joab’s brother Asahel.
