1 Kings 2:5

You also know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me. You know what he did to the two commanders of Israel's armies. They were Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. Joab killed them in a time of peace. He did it to pay them back for blood spilled in war. He got that blood of war on the belt around his waist and on the sandals on his feet.
