So Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying, 'Go, strike him down!' 30 When Benaiah reached the tent of the LORD, he said to Joab, 'The king says, “Come out.”' But Joab replied, 'No, I will die here.' So Benaiah went back to the king and reported, 'This is how Joab answered me.' 31 The king said to him, 'Do as he says. Strike him down and bury him, and so remove from me and my father's house the guilt of the blood that Joab shed without cause. 32 The LORD will bring back his blood on his own head, because he struck down two men more righteous and better than himself—Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah's army—killing them with the sword without my father David knowing it. 33 Their blood will come back on the head of Joab and his descendants forever, but there will be peace from the LORD forever for David, his descendants, his house, and his throne. 34 So Benaiah son of Jehoiada went up, struck down Joab, and killed him.
