In Deuteronomy 19:11, premeditated murder is described as lying in wait and killing — the very crime cursed here.

In Deuteronomy 19:12, the punishment for secret murder is to be handed over to the avenger — consequence of this curse.

Exodus 21:12-14 gives the legal framework behind this curse — distinguishing premeditated murder from accidental killing.

Numbers 35:31 adds that no ransom can substitute for the life of a murderer — the curse is irrevocable.

2 Samuel 3:27 shows Joab murdering Abner secretly and treacherously — a direct historical example of this curse in action.

2 Samuel 11:15-17 recounts David's secret murder of Uriah through battle orders — a covert killing that fits the curse.

2 Samuel 12:9-12 has Nathan condemning David for murdering Uriah secretly — applying the curse to the king himself.

2 Samuel 13:28 describes Absalom ordering Amnon's murder at a feast — another secret, premeditated killing under the curse.

2 Samuel 20:9 shows Joab killing Amasa with a deceptive kiss — a treacherous, secret murder that exemplifies the curse.

2 Samuel 20:10 continues the same incident — Amasa dies from Joab's secret blow, reinforcing the curse's reality.

In Exodus 21:14, the law defines willful murder by cunning — the same secret killing cursed here, with the added detail of being taken from the altar.
