“And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father.”
King James Version (KJV)
2:31 Do, &c. - Kill him, though he be there; take him from that place,and then kill him: for, #Exod 21:14|, doth not command the ruler to killthe murderer there, but to remove him thence, to take him from the altar,that he may die.
