2 Samuel 3:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ Then Joab came to the king and said, What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it you have sent him away and he is quite gone?

²⁵ You know that Abner son of Ner came to deceive you and to know your going out and coming in and all you are doing.

²⁶ When Joab came from seeing David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
