What is the meaning of "Ashuk b'Dam Nefesh"?

Rashi: He embezzled blood - he caused his colleague to sin, and lose his Nefesh.

2.

Malbim: One whom this foolish leader oppresses, he is oppressed with Dam Nefesh. It is not only money - he spills his blood.

What is "Ad Bor Yanus"?

1.

Rashi: Until the day of his death, he will flee for help, to atone for him.

Malbim: Even if he wants to flee from this foolish leader, he will flee until the pit, and no one supports him, for he is Chayav Misah to the king due to his wealth. This is like Navos ha'Yizre'eli - he was killed so Achav would inherit him.

3)

Why will he not be supported?

1.
