“So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspringforever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.”
1 Kings 2:33 (WEB)
Context Reading
31The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house. 32Yahweh will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah. 33So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspringforever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from Yahweh.” 34Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness. 35The king put Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army; and the king put Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.
