Lexham English Bible

³³ The king sang a lament for Abner and said, “Should Abner have died the death of a fool? ³⁴ Your hands were not tied and your feet were not in contact with bronze fetters. You have fallen as one who falls before sons of wickedness.” Then all the people wept over him again.^{[a] 35} Then all the people came to give David food. Still on that day, David swore, “May God punish me^[b] if I taste food or anything before the sun goes down.”
