1599 Geneva Bible
28 ¶ And when afterward it came to David’s ear, he said, I and my Kingdom are [a]guiltless before the Lord forever, concerning the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29 Let the blood fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house, that the house of Joab be never without some that have running issues, or leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that doeth fall on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
30 (So Joab and [b]Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in battle.)
