2 Samuel 2:12-24

12And AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and the servantsH5650 of Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, wentH3318 out from MahanaimH4266 to GibeonH1391. 13And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, wentH3318 out, and metH6298 them by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391; and they satH3427 downH3427, the oneH2088 on the oneH2088 side of the poolH1295, and the other on the other side of the poolH1295. 14And AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Let the youngH5288 menH5288, I pray thee, ariseH6965 and playH7832 before us. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Let them ariseH6965. 15Then they aroseH6965 and went over by numberH4557: twelve for BenjaminH1144, and for Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelve of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. 16And they caught every oneH376 his fellow by the headH7218, and thrust his swordH2719 in his fellow’s sideH6654; so they fellH5307 downH5307 togetherH3162: wherefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 Helkath-hazzurim, which is in GibeonH1391. 17And the battleH4421 wasH1961 veryH3966 sore that dayH3117; and AbnerH74 wasH1961 beaten, and the menH376 of IsraelH3478, before the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.

18And the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 were there, JoabH3097, and AbishaiH52, and AsahelH6214: and AsahelH6214 wasH1961 as light of footH7272 as a wild roe. 19And AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291 after AbnerH74; and in going he turnedH5186 not to the rightH3225 handH3225 nor to the left from following AbnerH74. 20Then AbnerH74 looked behind him, and saidH559, Is it thou, AsahelH6214? And he answered, It is I. 21And AbnerH74 saidH559 to him, TurnH5493 thee asideH5493 to thy rightH3225 handH3225 or to thy left, and lay thee holdH270 on oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288, and takeH3947 thee his armor. But AsahelH6214 wouldH14 not turnH5493 asideH5493 from following him. 22And AbnerH74 saidH559 againH5750 to AsahelH6214, TurnH5493 thee asideH5493 from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the groundH776? howH4100 then should I hold up my faceH6440 to JoabH3097 thy brotherH251? 23Howbeit he refusedH3985 to turnH5493 asideH5493: wherefore AbnerH74 with the hinder end of the spearH2595 smote him in the body, so that the spearH2595 cameH935 out behind him; and he fellH5307 downH5221 there, and diedH4191 in the same placeH4725: and it cameH935 to pass, that as many as cameH935 to the placeH4725 whereH834 AsahelH6214 fellH5307 downH5221 and diedH4191 stoodH5975 stillH5975.

24But JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291 after AbnerH74: and the sunH8121 wentH935 down whenH834 they were comeH935 to the hillH1389 of Ammah, that lieth before Giah by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of GibeonH1391.
