2 Samuel 3:33-38

³³And the king sang this lament for Abner:

“Should Abner die

the death of a fool?

³⁴Your hands were not bound,

your feet were not fettered.

As a man falls before the wicked,

so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.

³⁵Then all the people came and urged David to eat something while it was still day, but David took an oath, saying, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”

³⁶All the people took note and were pleased. In fact, everything the king did pleased them.

³⁷So on that day all the troops and all Israel were convinced that the king had no part in the murder of Abner son of Ner.

³⁸Then the king said to his servants, “Do you not realize that a great prince has fallen today in Israel?
