2 Samuel 3:33-37
-
33 And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?
-
34 Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.
-
35 And when all the people came to cause David to eat meat while it was yet day, David sware, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if I taste bread, or ought else, till the sun be down.
-
36 And all the people took notice of it, and it pleased them: as whatsoever the king did pleased all the people.
-
37 For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.
