Yoav murders Abner

3:22 Yoav murders Abner

22Soon afterwards, Yoav and some of David’s men arrived after a raid and carried in a lot of plunder. (Abner had already left Hebron because David had sent him off and he’d left in peace.) 23When Yoav and all the fighters with him arrived, he was told that Abner had been there and spoken with the king, then sent away in peace. 24So Yoav went to the king and demanded, “What have you done? Abner came to you and I can’t believe that you’d let him go, but he’s definitely not here now. 25Surely you realise that he only came here to influence you and to find out where you’re coming from and going to, and to learn everything that you’re doing?”

26Once Yoav had finished talking to David, he sent messengers to catch up to Abner. They found him at the Sirah cistern and brought him back without David’s knowledge. 27When Abner got back to Hebron, Yoav took him aside at the city gate as if to speak to him privately, then stabbed him in the stomach and he died as vengeance for killing Yoav’s brother Asahel. 28Later when David heard about it, he declared, “I and my kingdom are innocent of Abner’s death in Yahweh’s eyes. 29May Yoav’s extended family continually suffer from sores or leprosy, and be forced into manual labour or be killed in battle, or run out of food to eat.” 30(That’s how Yoav and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he’d killed their brother Asahel in Gibeon during the war.)
