2 Samuel 3:34
Compare all
32 So they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.
33 And the king sang a lament over Abner and said:
“Should Abner die as a afool dies? 
34 Your hands were not bound
Nor your feet put into fetters;
As a man falls before wicked men, so you fell.” Then all the people wept over him again.
35 And when all the people came ato persuade David to eat food while it was still day, David took an oath, saying, b“God do so to me, and more also, if I taste bread or anything else ctill the sun goes down!”  
36 Now all the people took note of it, and it pleased them, since whatever the king did pleased all the people.

2 Samuel 3:34

Not bound - Thou didst not tamely yield up thyself to Joab, to be bound hand and foot at his pleasure. Joab did not overcome thee in an equal combat, nor durst he attempt thee in that way, as a general or soldier of any worth would have done. Wicked men - By the hands of froward, or perverse, or crooked men, by hypocrisy and perfidiousness, whereby the vilest coward may kill the most valiant person.
