Deuteronomy 27:25
KJV
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.
NIV
“Cursed is anyone who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.” Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”
2 Samuel 4:10-12 illustrate Deuteronomy 27:25. The modern translations are wrong and break the cross references. A “reward” comes after a deed; a “bribe” goes before, 1 Samuel 8:3 & 12:3, Amos 5:12.
