2 Samuel 3:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 ¶ And behold, the servants of David and Joab came [a]from the camp, and brought a great prey with them (but Abner was not with David in Hebron: for he had sent him away, and he departed in peace.)
23 When Joab, and all the host that was with him were come, men told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the King, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.
24 Then Joab came to the King, and said, [b]What hast thou done? behold, Abner came unto thee, why hast thou sent him away, and he is departed?
