1 Kings 2:29-31

21st Century King James Version

²⁹ And it was told King Solomon that Joab had fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, “Go, fall upon him.”

³⁰ And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, “Thus saith the king, ‘Come forth!’” And he said, “Nay, but I will die here.” And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.”

³¹ And the king said unto him, “Do as he hath said, and fall upon him and bury him, that thou mayest take away the innocent blood which Joab shed from me and from the house of my father.
