1 Kings 2:5

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

2:5
“Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, even what he did to the two captains of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and to Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war on his sash that was around his waist and in his sandals that were on his feet.
Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether (note: Jether is a variant of Ithra; also in verse 32; see 2 Samuel 17:25.), the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet (note: Hebrew; LXX He stained with innocent blood the belt around my waist and the sandals on my feet.).
