If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at them intentionally so that they die

And if he pushed him out of hatred or hurled something at him, lying in wait, so that he died,

So if someone hates another person and waits in ambush, then pushes him or throws something at him and he dies, it is murder.

Likewise, if anyone in hatred pushes a person or throws an object at him with malicious intent and he dies,

Now if he pushed him in hatred, or he threw something at him with malicious intent, and as a result he died,

If he pushes him out of hatred or, while lying in wait, hurls something at him so that he dies,

And if he thrust him of hatred, or hurled at him, lying in wait, so that he died,

But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die;

“ But if he strikes him out of hatred or throws something at him intentionally so that he dies,

If he shoved him out of hatred, or hurled something at him while lying in wait, so that he died,

But suppose they kill someone on purpose. Then take them away from my altar and put them to death.

But suppose a man hates his neighbor. So he hides and waits for him. Then he attacks him and kills him. And he runs to one of those cities for safety.

When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him to one side. He brought him into an inside room. Joab acted as if he wanted to speak to him in private. But he really wanted to get even with him. That’s because Abner had spilled the blood of Joab’s brother Asahel. So Joab stabbed Abner in the stomach, and he died.

Amasa didn’t notice the dagger in Joab’s left hand. Joab stuck it into his stomach. His insides spilled out on the ground. Joab didn’t have to stab him again. Amasa was already dead. Then Joab and his brother Abishai went after Sheba, the son of Bikri.

Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” So they went out. There Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Don’t give in to them. More than 40 of them are waiting in hiding to attack him. They have promised that they will not eat or drink anything until they have killed him. They are ready now. All they need is for you to bring Paul to the Sanhedrin.”

Look, my father! Look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe. But I didn’t kill you. See, there is nothing in my hand that shows I am guilty of doing anything wrong. I haven’t turned against you. I haven’t done anything to harm you. But you are hunting me down. You want to kill me.

They set a trap for me without any reason. Without any reason they dug a pit to catch me.So let them be destroyed without warning. Let the trap they set for me catch them. Let them fall into the pit and be destroyed.

His mouth is full of lies and warnings. With his tongue he speaks evil and makes trouble.Sinful people hide and wait near the villages. From their hiding places they murder people who aren’t guilty. They watch in secret for those they want to attack.They hide and wait like a lion in the bushes. From their hiding places they wait to catch those who are helpless. They catch them and drag them off in their nets.Those they have attacked are beaten up. They fall to the ground. They fall because their attackers are too strong for them.

And Absalom never said a word of any kind to Amnon. He hated Amnon because he had brought shame on his sister Tamar.

But he wasn’t pleased with Cain and his offering. So Cain became very angry, and his face was sad.

Absalom ordered his men,“ Listen! When Amnon has had too much wine to drink, I’ll say to you,‘ Strike Amnon down.’ When I do, kill him. Don’t be afraid. I’ve given you an order, haven’t I? Be strong and brave.”So Absalom’s men killed Amnon, just as Absalom had ordered. Then all the king’s sons got on their mules and rode away.

Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.

But an evil spirit sent by the Lord came on Saul. It happened as he was sitting in his house and holding his spear. While David was playing the harp,Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear. But David got away from him just as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David escaped.Saul sent some men to watch David’s house. He told them to kill David the next morning. But David’s wife Michal warned him. She said,“ You must run for your life tonight. If you don’t, tomorrow you will be killed.”So Michal helped David escape through a window. He ran and got away.

Men who are like lions are all around me. I am forced to lie down among people who are like hungry animals. Their teeth are like spears and arrows. Their tongues are like sharp swords.God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth.My enemies spread a net to catch me by the feet. I felt helpless. They dug a pit in my path. But they fell into it themselves.

Then the king commanded Benaiah,“ Do what he says. Strike him down and bury him. Then I and my family line won’t be held accountable for the blood Joab spilled. He killed people who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.The Lord will pay him back for the blood he spilled. Joab attacked two men. He killed them with his sword. And my father David didn’t even know anything about it. Joab killed Abner, the son of Ner. Abner was the commander of Israel’s army. Joab also killed Amasa, the son of Jether. Amasa was the commander of Judah’s army. Abner and Amasa were better men than Joab is. They were more honest than he is.May Joab and his children after him be held forever accountable for spilling the blood of Abner and Amasa. But may David and his children after him enjoy the Lord’ s peace and rest forever. May the Lord also give his peace to David’s royal house and kingdom forever.”

The next day an evil spirit sent by God came powerfully on Saul. Saul began to prophesy in his house. At that same time David began to play the harp, just as he usually did.

David was in Naioth at Ramah. He ran away from there to where Jonathan was. He asked him,“ What have I done? What crime have I committed? I haven’t done anything to harm your father. So why is he trying to kill me?”

“ You yourself know what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me. You know that he killed Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether. They were the two commanders of Israel’s armies. He killed them in a time of peace. It wasn’t a time of war. Joab spilled the blood of Abner and Amasa. With that blood he stained the belt around his waist. He also stained the sandals on his feet.You are wise. So I leave him in your hands. Just don’t let him live to become an old man. Don’t let him die peacefully.

He told them to surround David and his men. He told them to get ready to attack them.David learned that Saul was planning to attack him. So he said to Abiathar the priest,“ Bring the linen apron.”

Herodias couldn’t forgive John for saying that. She wanted to kill him. But she could not,

Enemies use their words as a mask. They hide their evil plans in their hearts.

Anyone troubled by the guilt of murder will seek to escape their guilt by death. No one should keep them from it.

Those who hide and wait will spill their own blood. They will be caught in their own trap.That’s what happens to everyone who goes after money in the wrong way. That kind of money takes away the life of those who get it.

Saul said,“ Tell David,‘ Here’s the price the king wants for the bride. He wants you to kill 100 Philistines. Then bring back the skins you cut off when you circumcise them. That’s how Saul will get even with his enemies.’ ” Saul hoped that the Philistines would strike David down.
