2 Samuel 3:38-39

New International Version - UK

³⁸ Then the king said to his men, ‘Do you not realise that a commander and a great man has fallen in Israel this day? ³⁹ And today, though I am the anointed king, I am weak, and these sons of Zeruiah are too strong for me. May the Lord repay the evildoer according to his evil deeds!’
