8 The Lord y has avenged on you all z the blood of the house of Saul, in whose place you have reigned, and the Lord has given the kingdom into the hand of your son Absalom. See, your evil is on you, for you are a man of blood.”
24 p that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.
56 f Thus God returned the evil of Abimelech, which he committed against his father in killing his seventy brothers. 57 And God also made all the evil of the men of Shechem return on their heads, and upon them came g the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.
32 The Lord will g bring back his bloody deeds on his own head, because, without the knowledge of my father David, he attacked and killed with the sword two men h more righteous and better than himself, i Abner the son of Ner, commander of the army of Israel, and j Amasa the son of Jether, commander of the army of Judah. 33 g So shall their blood come back on the head of Joab and on the head of his descendants forever. But for David and for his descendants and for his house and for his throne there shall be peace from the Lord forevermore.”
