2 Samuel 3:30-32

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner. They did it because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.

³¹ David spoke to Joab and all the people with him. He said, “Tear your clothes. Put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. Mourn when you walk in front of Abner’s body.” King David himself walked behind it. ³² Abner’s body was buried in Hebron. The king wept out loud at Abner’s tomb. So did the rest of the people.
