The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૨:૩૨
તેણે વહેવડાવેલું લોહી ઈશ્વર તેના પોતાના માથા પર પાછું વાળશે, કેમ કે મારા પિતા દાઉદ ન જાણે તેમ, તેણે પોતા કરતાં ન્યાયી એવા બે સારા માણસો પર, એટલે નેરના દીકરા એટલે ઇઝરાયલના સેનાધિપતિ આબ્નેર પર અને યેથેરના દીકરા એટલે યહૂદિયાના સેનાધિપતિ અમાસા પર હુમલો કરીને તેઓને તલવારથી મારી નાખ્યા.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं २:३२
और यहोवा उसके सिर वह खून लौटा देगा क्योंकि उसने मेरे पिता दाऊद के बिना जाने अपने से अधिक धर्मी और भले दो पुरुषों पर, अर्थात् इस्राएल के प्रधान सेनापति नेर के पुत्र अब्नेर और यहूदा के प्रधान सेनापति येतेर के पुत्र अमासा पर टूटकर उनको तलवार से मार डाला था।

In context

30Benaiah came to the LORD’s Tent, and said to him, “The king says, ‘Come out!’” He said, “No; but I will die here.” Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, “This is what Joab said, and this is how he answered me.”

31The king said to him, “Do as he has said, and fall on him, and bury him, that you may take away the blood, which Joab shed without cause, from me and from my father’s house.

32The LORD will return his blood on his own head, because he fell on two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, and my father David didn’t know it: Abner the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

33So their blood will return on the head of Joab and on the head of his offspring forever. But for David, for his offspring, for his house, and for his throne, there will be peace forever from the LORD.”

34Then Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell on him, and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.
