2 Samuel 3:26-28
International Standard Version

26 As soon as Joab left David, Joab[a] sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah, but David was not aware of this. 27 When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab brought him aside within the gateway to talk to him alone and then stabbed him in the abdomen.[b] So he died for shedding[c] the blood of Joab’s[d] brother Asahel.

28 Later on, David found out about it and proclaimed, “Let me and my kingdom remain guiltless forever in the Lord’s presence for the death[e] of Ner’s son Abner.
