2 Samuel 3:34

Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man falleth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him.

Cross-reference

In 2 Samuel 1:12, David mourns for Saul and Jonathan—same pattern of lament for fallen leaders as here.

Judges 16:21 describes Samson bound and blinded, contrasting with David's claim that Abner's hands and feet were not bound.

Hosea 6:9 Parallel

In Hosea 6:9, priests murder like robbers on the road—similar to Joab's treacherous killing of Abner here.

Psalm 107:10 depicts prisoners in iron chains, opposite to Abner whose feet were not fettered in death.
