Joab takes Abner aside into the middle of the gate and strikes him, so that he dies

요압이 아브넬을 데리고 성문으로 들어가서 배를 찔러 죽임

2 Samuel 3:22–27: behold, David’s servants and Joab come from a raid and bring in a great plunder with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace. When Joab and all the army who was with him have come, they tell Joab, “Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace.” Then Joab comes to the king and says, “What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you. Why is it that you have sent him away, and he is already gone? You know Abner the son of Ner. He came to deceive you, and to know your going out and your coming in, and to know all that you do.” When Joab has come out from David, he sends messengers after Abner, and they bring him back from the well of Sirah; but David didn’t know it. When Abner has returned to Hebron, Joab takes him aside into the middle of the gate to speak with him quietly, and strikes him there in the body, so that he dies for the blood of Asahel his brother. At 3:26 the Korean Revised Version names no one who comes out from David (이에 다윗에게서 나와서), running on from Joab’s words, and at 3:27 it reads 성문으로 들어가서, into the gate.
