2 Samuel 3:36

³⁴Thy hands were not bound, And thy feet were not put in fetters: One brought thee not near as Nabal; Thou didst fall before children of iniquity.

³⁵And all the people assembled to weep for him. And all the people came to cause David to eat bread while it was yet day: and David swore, saying, God do so to me, and more also, if I eat bread or anything else before the sun goes down.

— 2 Samuel 3:36 —

³⁷So all the people and all Israel perceived in that day, that it was not of the king to slay Abner the son of Ner.

³⁸And the king said to his servants, Know ye not that a great prince is this day fallen in Israel?
