1 Kings 2:29-34

1 Kings 2:29-34

[29] And it was told  king  Solomon  that Joab  was fled  unto the tabernacle  of the LORD;  and, behold, he is by  the altar.  Then Solomon  sent  Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada,  saying,  fall  upon him. [30] And Benaiah  came  to the tabernacle  of the LORD,  and said  the king,  Come forth.  And he said,  Nay; but I will die  here. And Benaiah  the king  word  again,  saying,  Thus said  Joab,  and thus he answered  [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.  [32] And the LORD  shall return  his blood  upon his own head,  who fell  upon two  more righteous  and better  than he, and slew  them with the sword,  my father  David  not knowing  thereof, to wit, Abner  the son  of Ner,  captain  of the host  of Israel,  and Amasa  the son  of Jether,  captain  of the host  of Judah.  [33] Their blood  shall therefore return  upon the head  of Joab,  and upon the head  of his seed  for ever:  but upon David,  and upon his seed,  and upon his house,  and upon his throne,  shall there be peace  for  ever  from the LORD.  [34] So Benaiah  the son  of Jehoiada  went up,  and fell  upon him, and slew  him: and he was buried  in his own house  in the wilderness.
