2 Samuel 2:18-24
18Now 1the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 were thereH8033, JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 and AsahelH6214; and AsahelH6214 was 2as 3swift-footedH7031H7272 as oneH259 of the gazellesH6643 whichH834 is in the fieldH7704. 19AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291 AbnerH74 and did not 4turnH5186 to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040 from followingH310 AbnerH74. 20Then AbnerH74 lookedH6437 behindH310 him and saidH559, “Is that you, AsahelH6214?” And he answeredH559, “It is I.” 21So AbnerH74 saidH559 to him, “5TurnH5186 to your rightH3225 orH176 to your leftH8040, and takeH270 holdH270 of oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 for yourself, and takeH3947 for yourself his spoilH2488.” But AsahelH6214 was not willingH14 to turnH5493 asideH5493 from followingH310 him. 22AbnerH74 repeatedH3254H559 againH5750 to AsahelH6214, “TurnH5493 6asideH5493 from followingH310 me. WhyH4100 should I strikeH5221 you to the groundH776? 7HowH349 then could I liftH5375 up my faceH6440 to your brotherH251 JoabH3097?” 23However, he refusedH3985 to turnH5493 asideH5493; therefore AbnerH74 struckH5221 him in the bellyH2570 with the buttH310 endH310 of the spearH2595, so that the spearH2595 cameH3318 out at his backH310. And he fellH5307 thereH8033 and diedH4191 on the spotH8478. And it cameH1961 about that allH3605 who cameH935 to the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 8AsahelH6214 had fallenH5307 and diedH4191, stoodH5975 stillH5975.
24But JoabH3097 and AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291 AbnerH74, and when the sunH8121 was goingH935 down, they cameH935 to the hillH1389 of AmmahH522, whichH834 is in frontH6440 of GiahH1520 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of GibeonH1391.
