2 Samuel 3:33-38

33 The king sang this lament for Abner:
“Should Abner have died as the lawless die?

34 Your hands were not bound,
your feet were not fettered.

35 Then they all came and urged David to eat something while it was still day; but David took an oath, saying, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if I taste bread or anything else before the sun sets!”

36 All the people took note and were pleased; indeed, everything the king did pleased them.
