1 Kings 2:31-33

31 The king said to him, ^a“Do as he has spoken and fall upon him and bury him, ^bthat you may remove from me and from my father’s house the blood which Joab shed without cause. 32 ^c“The Lord will return his blood on his own head, ^dbecause he fell upon two men more righteous and better than he and killed them with the sword, while my father David did not know it: ^eAbner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and ^fAmasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. 33 ^g“So shall their blood return on the head of Joab and on the head of his ^{▼▼ Lit seed}descendants forever; but to David and his ^{▼▼ Lit seed}descendants and his house and his throne, may there be peace from the Lord forever.”
