2nd Samuel 3:37

33 and the king lamenteth for Abner, and saith: -- `As the death of a fool doth Abner die?

34 Thy hands not bound, And thy feet to fetters not brought nigh! As one falling before sons of evil -- Thou hast fallen!` and all the people add to weep over him.

35 And all the people come to cause David to eat bread while yet day, and David sweareth, saying, `Thus doth God to me, and thus He doth add, for -- before the going in of the sun, I taste no bread or any other thing.`

36 And all the people have discerned [it], and it is good in their eyes, as all that the king hath done is good in the eyes of all the people;

37 and all the people know, even all Israel, in that day, that it hath not been from the king -- to put to death Abner son of Ner.

38 And the king saith unto his servants, `Do ye not know that a prince and a great one hath fallen this day in Israel?

39 and I to-day [am] tender, and an anointed king: and these men, sons of Zeruiah, [are] too hard for me; Jehovah doth recompense to the doer of the evil according to his evil.`
