Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

²⁸ David heard about it later and said, ‘I and my kingdom are for ever 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,^(A) or a man who can only work a spindle,^[a] or someone who falls by the sword or starves.’
