      The second son of 
        Adam and Eve, Abel, was a shepherd, and his brother, Cain, a farmer. When they brought their offerings to the Lord, 
        Abel's offering was accepted but Cain's was not. In anger Cain killed 
        his brother. God asked Cain where Abel was, but Cain denied knowing his 
        whereabouts. Then God replied that Abel's blood was crying out from the 
        ground against Cain. God condemned the murder, put a mark on Cain so that 
        no one would kill him as he wandered the earth. 
      Gen 
        4:1-12 - Murdered by Cain.
