1 Kings 2:5

“You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me – how he murdered two commanders of the Israelite armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. ¹  During peacetime he struck them down like he would in battle; ²  when he shed their blood as if in battle, he stained his own belt and the sandals on his feet. ³ 

2Sa 3:27; 2Sa 3:39; 2Sa 17:25; 2Sa 18:5,12,14; 2Sa 19:5-7; 2Sa 20:10; 1Ki 1:7,18,19; Jer 2:34; Jer 6:15; Eze 24:7,8

¹ tn Heb “what he did to the two commanders…and he killed them.”

² tn Heb “he shed the blood of battle in peace.”

³ tn Heb “and he shed the blood of battle when he killed which is on his waist and on his sandal[s] which are on his feet.” That is, he covered himself with guilt and his guilt was obvious to all who saw him.
