2 Samuel 3:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ “You know Abner, the son of Ner. For he came to deceive you, and to know of your coming out and going in, and to know all that you do.”

²⁶ And when Joab had gone out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him back from the well of Sirah, unknown to David.

²⁷ And when Abner had come back to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him “peaceably”. And he struck him under the fifth rib, so that he died, because of the blood of Asahel, his brother.
