1 Kings 2:30-31

30So Benaiah came to the tent of the Lord and said to him, “The king commands, ‘Come out.’” But he said, “No, I will die here.” Then Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.” 31The king replied to him, aDo as he has said, strike him down and bury him, band thus take away from me and from my father’s house the guilt for the blood that Joab shed without cause.
