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.
