2 Samuel 3:39 DBY

³⁷  And all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to put Abner the son of Ner to death.

³⁸  And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?

³⁹  And I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too hard for me: Jehovah reward the doer of evil according to his wickedness!
