32 ^a“The Lord will return his blood on his own head, ^bbecause 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: ^cAbner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and ^dAmasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. 33 ^e“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.” 34 Then ^hBenaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and put him to death, and he was buried at his own house ⁱin the wilderness.
