2 Samuel 3:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ May the guilt^[a] fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father’s house; and may the house of Joab never be without one who has a discharge, or who is leprous,^[b] or who holds a spindle, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks food!” ³⁰ So Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.

³¹ Then David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourn over Abner.” And King David followed the bier.
