2 Samuel 3:29-33 Amplified Bible (AMP)

29. Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father's house; and let the house of Joab never be without one who has a discharge or is a leper or walks with a crutch or is a distaff holder [unfit for war] or who falls by the sword or lacks food!

30. So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

31. And David said to Joab and to all the people with him, Rend your clothes, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And King David followed the bier.

32. They buried Abner in Hebron. And the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.

33. And the king lamented over Abner and said, Should Abner die as a fool dies?
