2 Samuel 3:26-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
26
When Joab left David’s presence, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know
about it.
27
So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the belly, so that he died on account of the blood of his brother Asahel.
28
Afterward, when David heard
about
this, he said, 'I and my kingdom are innocent before the
Lord
forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29
May it turn upon the head of Joab and on all his father’s house; and may there not be eliminated from the house of Joab someone who suffers a discharge, or has leprosy, or holds the spindle, or falls by the sword, or lacks bread.'
30
So Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.
King James Version
Chapter 3
26
And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.
27
And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.
28
And afterward when David heard it, he said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the
Lord
for ever from the blood of Abner the son of Ner:
29
Let it rest on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that hath an issue, or that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that falleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread.
30
So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
26
Then Joab left David and sent messengers after Abner. They brought him back from the well of Sirah, but David was unaware of it.
27
When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab pulled him aside to the middle of the city gate, as if to speak to him privately, and there Joab stabbed him in the stomach. So Abner died in revenge for the death of Asahel, Joab’s brother.
28
David heard about it later and said: "I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the
Lord
concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
29
May it hang over Joab’s head and his father’s whole family, and may the house of Joab never be without someone who has a discharge or a skin disease, or a man who can only work a spindle, or someone who falls by the sword or starves."
30
Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
26
Joab then left David and sent messengers to catch up with Abner, asking him to return. They found him at the well of Sirah and brought him back, though David knew nothing about it.
27
When Abner arrived back at Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gateway as if to speak with him privately. But then he stabbed Abner in the stomach and killed him in revenge for killing his brother Asahel.
28
When David heard about it, he declared, 'I vow by the
Lord
that I and my kingdom are forever innocent of this crime against Abner son of Ner.
29
Joab and his family are the guilty ones. May the family of Joab be cursed in every generation with a man who has open sores or leprosy or who walks on crutches or dies by the sword or begs for food!'
30
So Joab and his brother Abishai killed Abner because Abner had killed their brother Asahel at the battle of Gibeon.

28
Afterward, when David heard of it, he said, "I and my kingdom are forever guiltless before the
Lord
for the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
29
May it fall upon the head of Joab and upon all his father 's house, and may the house of Joab never be without one who has a discharge or who is leprous or who holds a spindle or who falls by the sword or who lacks bread!"
30
So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had put their brother Asahel to death in the battle at Gibeon.
New International Version

26
Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it.
27
Now when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him in the stomach, and he died.
28
Later, when David heard about this, he said, "I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the
Lord
concerning the blood of Abner son of Ner.
29
May his blood fall on the head of Joab and on his whole family! May Joab’s family never be without someone who has a running sore or leprosy or who leans on a crutch or who falls by the sword or who lacks food."
30
(Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.)
