2 Samuel 2:18-23
18And there were threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 there, JoabH3097, and AbishaiH52, and AsahelH6214. Now AsahelH6214 wasH1961 swiftH7031 of footH7272, as oneH259 of the gazellesH6643 that are in the fieldH7704.
19And AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291 after AbnerH74; and in going he turnedH5186 not to the rightH3225 handH3225 nor to the left from behind AbnerH74.
20Then AbnerH74 looked behind him, and saidH559, Art thou AsahelH6214? And he saidH559, I am.
21And AbnerH74 saidH559 to him, TurnH5493 thee asideH5493, to thy rightH3225 handH3225 or to thy left, and lay holdH270 of oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288, and takeH3947 for thyself his armour. But AsahelH6214 wouldH14 not turnH5493 asideH5493 from following him.
22And AbnerH74 saidH559 againH5750 to AsahelH6214, TurnH5493 thee asideH5493 from following me: whyH4100 should I smite thee to the groundH776? howH4100 then should I hold up my faceH6440 to JoabH3097 thy brotherH251?
23But he refusedH3985 to turnH5493 asideH5493; therefore AbnerH74 with the hinder end of the spearH2595 smote him in the bellyH2570, 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.
