2 Samuel 3:37-39
37
So all the people and all Israel understood that day that it was not of the king to kill Abner the son of Ner.
38
The king said to his servants, "Don't you know that there a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?
39
I am this day weak, though anointed king; and these men the sons of Zeruiah are too hard for me. May Yahweh reward the evildoer according to his wickedness."
