KJV - 1 Kings 2:30

And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the LORD, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me.

Benaiah went to the LORD's shelter and told him the king's message to come out. But he replied, "No, I want to die here." Benaiah then informed the king about Joab's words and his response.
