2Sam 3:27:
27 When Avner got back to Hevron, 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.
2Sam 20:10:
10 but Amasa wasn’t aware of the dagger that was in Yoav’s other hand. Yoav thrust it into his stomach and his intestines poured out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again and Amasa died right there.
Then Yoav and his brother Avishay continued their hunt for Bikri’s son Sheva.
2Sam 17:27-29:
27 While David was in Mahanayim, Shovi (Nahash’s son from Rabah), Makir (Amiyel’s son from Lo-Devar), and Barzilay (the Giladi from Roglim) 28 brought bedding and basins, clay pots, wheat and barley, flour and roasted grain, beans and lentils, 29 honey and yogurt, sheep and cheese for David and the people with him to eat because they knew that they’d be hungry and tired and thirsty there in the wilderness.
2Sam 16:5-13:
5 When King David got to Bahurim, wow, a man from Sha’ul’s (Saul’s) extended family came out. He was Gera’s son Shimei, and he came out and cursed David. 6 Then he threw stones at David and all his servants, and all the people and warriors on both sides of the king. 7 “Go away, go away, you worthless man of much bloodshed!” Shimei yelled. 8 “Now Yahweh’s returning to you all the blood of Sha’ul’s household. You took over as king in his place, but Yahweh’s giving the kingdom into the hand of your son Avshalom (Absalom). Look at you, you’re evil because you’re a man of much bloodshed.”
9 The Tseruyah’s son Avishay asked the king, “Why should this dead dog curse my master the king? Please, let me cross over and lop off his head.”
10 “What does it matter to me, or to you two sons of Tseruyah?” the king replied. “He’s cursing because Yahweh told him to curse me, so who has any right to ask him why he’s saying it?” 11 Then David told Avishay and all his servants, “Look, my own biological son is trying to kill me. Now on top of that, this Benyamite. Leave him and let him curse, because Yahweh told him to. 12 Perhaps Yahweh will see my suffering and return good on me, instead of this cursing today.” 13 As David and his men continued along the road, Shimei walked along the hillside beside him—walking and cursing, and throwing stones and dirt at him.
19:16-23:
16 Shimei (son of Gera the Benyamite from Bahurim)[ref] hurried down with the Yehudah men to meet King David. 17 A thousand Benyamite men came with him, as well as Tsiva (formerly Sha’ul’s (Saul’s) servant) and fifteen of his sons and twenty of his servants, and they hurried to the Yarden to meet the king. 18 They crossed the ford to help bring the king’s household back across and anything else the king wanted.
Shimei (Gera’s son) fell onto his knees in front of the king when he crossed the Yarden (Jordan) 19 and begged the king, “May my master not consider me guilty, and don’t keep thinking about the terrible thing your servant dig on the day that my master the king left Yerushalem (Jerusalem)—don’t brood over it 20 because your servant knows that I myself have sinned, and look, I have come today, first of all the Yosef’s (Joseph’s) clans to come down to meet my master, the king.”
21 But Avishay (Tseruyah’s son) answered instead, “Rather than that, shouldn’t Shimei be killed because he cursed Yahweh’s anointed one?”
22 “You sons of Tseruyah!” David responded. “Who asked you two to accuse others to me today? Should today be a time to kill other Israelis? Actually, I think it might be me who’s Yisrael’s (Israel’s) king?” 23 Then the king promised Shimei, “You won’t die for that.”
