Contemporary English Version

Joab Kills Abner

²² Soon after Abner had left Hebron, Joab and some of David's soldiers came back, bringing a lot of things they had taken from an enemy village. ²³ Right after they arrived, someone told Joab, “Abner visited the king, and the king let him go. Abner even left without causing any trouble.”

²⁴ Joab went to David and said, “What have you done? Abner came to you, and you let him go. Now he's long gone!
