2 Samuel 3:35-39
-
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.
-
38 And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?
-
39 And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah be too hard for me: the LORD shall reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness.
