KJV - 1 Kings 2:33
Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.
Joab's and his family's blood will always be on them as a punishment. But David, his family, and their kingdom will have eternal peace from God.
