- "And afterwardª¹¹ when Davidª heardª° [it], he said,ª° I¹ and my kingdomª [are] guiltlessª before¹¹ the LORDª for² everª¹ from the bloodª¹ of Abnerª the sonª of Ner:ª ... Let it restª° on¹ the headª of Joab,ª and on¹ all¹ his father'sª house;ª and let there not¹ failª° from the houseª¹ of Joabª one that hath an issue,ª° or that is a leper,ª° or that leanethª° on a staff,ª or that fallethª° on the sword,ª or that lackethª bread.ª" {2Sm 3:28-29} + "So ye shall not¹ polluteª°¹ the landª wherein¹ ye¹ [are]: for¹ bloodª it¹ defilethª°¹ the land:ª and the landª cannot¹ be cleansedª° of the bloodª that¹ is shedª° therein, but¹¹ by the bloodª of him that shedª° it." {Num 35:33} + "If¹ [one] be foundª° slainª in the landª which¹ the LORDª thy Godª givethª° thee to possessª° it, lyingª° in the field,ª [and] it be not¹ knownª° who¹ hath slainª° him: ... So shalt thou¹ put awayª° the [guilt of] innocentª bloodª from amongª¹ you, when¹ thou shalt doª° [that which is] rightª in the sightª of the LORD.ª" {Deu 21:1-9} + "Their bloodª shall therefore returnª° upon the headª of Joab,ª and upon the headª of his seedª for ever:ª but upon David,ª and upon his seed,ª and upon his house,ª and upon his throne,ª shall there be¹ peaceª for² everª¹ from¹¹ the LORD.ª" {1Kg 2:33}
