2 Samuel 3:23

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Just after they arrived, someone told Joab, “Abner visited the king, and the king let him go. Abner even left without causing any trouble.”

See the chapter Copy

Soon after Abner had left Hebron, Joab and some of David's soldiers came back, bringing a lot of things they had taken from an enemy village.

Joab went to David and said, “What have you done? Abner came to you, and you let him go. Now he's long gone!

It isn't fair to punish the innocent and those who do right.
