"When Joab came out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it."
— 2 Samuel 3:26, NASB
“And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.”
“And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not. ”
“When Joab had come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn't know it.”
“Then Joab left David and sent messengers after Abner. They brought him back from the well of Sirah.(But David was not aware of it.)”
“Then Joab going out from David, sent messengers after Abner, and brought him back from the cistern of Sira, David knowing nothing of it.”
“And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.”
“And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, which brought him again from the well of Sirah: but David knew it not.”
When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace."
Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why then have you sent him away and he is already gone?
"You know Abner the son of Ner, that he came to deceive you and to learn of your going out and coming in and to find out all that you are doing."
When Joab came out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, and they brought him back from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.
So when Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him privately, and there he struck him in the belly so that he died on account of the blood of Asahel his brother.
Afterward when David heard it, he said, "I and my kingdom are innocent before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.
"May it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father's house; and may there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who takes hold of a distaff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread."
