2 Samuel 2:12-24

12And AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and the servantsH5650 of Ish–boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, went outH3318 from MahanaimH4266 to GibeonH1391. 13And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, went outH3318, and metH6298 togetherH3162 by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391: and they sat downH3427, the one on the one side of the poolH1295, and the other on the other side of the poolH1295.1 14And AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Let the young menH5288 now ariseH6965, and playH7832 beforeH6440 us. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Let them ariseH6965. 15Then there aroseH6965 and went overH5674 by numberH4557 twelveH6240H8147 of BenjaminH1144, which pertained to Ish–boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH6240H8147 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. 16And they caughtH2388 every oneH376 his fellowH7453 by the headH7218, and thrust his swordH2719 in his fellow’sH7453 sideH6654; so they fell downH5307 togetherH3162: wherefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 Helkath–hazzurimH2521, which is in GibeonH1391.2 17And there was a veryH3966 soreH7186 battleH4421 that dayH3117; and AbnerH74 was beatenH5062, and the menH582 of IsraelH3478, beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.

18And there were threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 there, JoabH3097, and AbishaiH52, and AsahelH6214: and AsahelH6214 was as lightH7031 of footH7272 as aH259 wildH7704 roeH6643.34 19And AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291 afterH310 AbnerH74; and in goingH3212 he turnedH5186 not to the right handH3225 nor to the leftH8040 from followingH310 AbnerH74.5 20Then AbnerH74 lookedH6437 behindH310 him, and saidH559, Art thou AsahelH6214? And he answeredH559, I am. 21And AbnerH74 saidH559 to him, Turn thee asideH5186 to thy right handH3225 or to thy leftH8040, and lay thee holdH270 on oneH259 of the young menH5288, and takeH3947 thee his armourH2488. But AsahelH6214 wouldH14 not turn asideH5493 from followingH310 of him.6 22And AbnerH74 saidH559 againH3254 to AsahelH6214, Turn thee asideH5493 from followingH310 me: wherefore should I smiteH5221 thee to the groundH776? how then should I hold upH5375 my faceH6440 to JoabH3097 thy brotherH251? 23Howbeit he refusedH3985 to turn asideH5493: wherefore AbnerH74 with the hinder endH310 of the spearH2595 smoteH5221 him underH413 the fifthH2570 rib, that the spearH2595 came outH3318 behindH310 him; and he fell downH5307 there, and diedH4191 in the same placeH8478: and it came to pass, that as many as cameH935 to the placeH4725 where AsahelH6214 fell downH5307 and diedH4191 stood stillH5975. 24JoabH3097 also and AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291 afterH310 AbnerH74: and the sunH8121 went downH935 when they were comeH935 to the hillH1389 of AmmahH522, that lieth beforeH6440 GiahH1520 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of GibeonH1391.
