Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”

ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૩:૨૯
આબ્નેરના મરણનો દોષ યોઆબના શિરે તથા તેના પિતાના કુટુંબનાં બધાને શિરે છે. તેઓના ઘરના લોકો રક્તસ્રાવ અને કુષ્ટરોગના ભોગ બનશે. તેઓ અપંગ થશે અને તલવારથી મરશે. ઘરમાં અનાજની તંગી રહેશે. આ બધાં શાપ લાગશે.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल ३:२९
वह योआब और उसके पिता के समस्त घराने को लगे; और योआब के वंश में कोई न कोई प्रमेह का रोगी, और कोढ़ी, और लँगड़ा, और तलवार से घात किया जानेवाला, और भूखा मरनेवाला सदा होता रहे।”

In context

27When Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.

28Afterward, when David heard it, he said, “I and my kingdom are guiltless before the LORD forever of the blood of Abner the son of Ner.

29Let it fall on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house. Let there not fail from the house of Joab one who has a discharge, or who is a leper, or who leans on a staff, or who falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.”

30So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

31David said to Joab and to all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes, and clothe yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn in front of Abner.” King David followed the bier.
