2 Samuel 2:18-23
18Now 1the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 were thereH8033, JoabH3097, AbishaiH52, and AsahelH6214; and AsahelH6214 was 2as 3swift-footedH7031H7272 as oneH259 of the gazellesH6643 that is in the fieldH7704. 19AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291H310 AbnerH74 and did not turnH5186 4to the rightH3225 or to the leftH8040 from followingH310 AbnerH74. 20Then AbnerH74 lookedH6437 behindH310 himself and saidH559, “Is that you, AsahelH6214?” And he saidH559, “It is I!” 21So AbnerH74 saidH559 to him, “TurnH5186 asideH5186 for your own good to your rightH3225 orH176 to your leftH8040, and takeH270 holdH270 of oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 for yourself, and takeH3947 for yourself his equipmentH2488.” But AsahelH6214 was unwillingH3808H14 to turnH5493 asideH5493 from followingH310 him. 22Then AbnerH74 repeatedH3254H559 againH5750 to AsahelH6214, “TurnH5493 asideH5493 for your own good from followingH310 me. WhyH4100 should I strikeH5221 you to the groundH776? 5HowH349 then could I 6showH5375 my faceH6440 to your brotherH251 JoabH3097?” 23However, he refusedH3985 to turnH5493 asideH5493; so AbnerH74 struckH5221 him in the bellyH2570 with the buttH310 endH310 of the spearH2595, so that the spearH2595 cameH3318 outH3318 at his backH310. And he fellH5307 thereH8033 and diedH4191 on the spotH8478. And it happenedH1961 that allH3605 who cameH935 thereafter to the placeH4725 whereH834H8033 7AsahelH6214 had fallenH5307 and diedH4191, stoodH5975 stillH5975.
