25 You know Ner’s son Abner came to mislead you, to learn your troop movements,[a] and to learn everything you’re doing!”
26 As soon as Joab left David, Joab[b] 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.[c] So he died for shedding[d] the blood of Joab’s[e] brother Asahel.

2 Samuel 3:25-27
New International Version
25 You know Abner son of Ner; he came to deceive you and observe your movements and find out everything you are doing.”
26 Joab then left David and sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the cistern at Sirah. But David did not know it. 27 Now when Abner(A) returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into an inner chamber, as if to speak with him privately. And there, to avenge the blood of his brother Asahel, Joab stabbed him(B) in the stomach, and he died.(C)
