18

And there were threeh7969 sonsh1121 of Zeruiahh6870 there, Joabh3097, and Abishaih52, and Asahelh6214: and Asahelh6214 was as lighth7031 of footh7272 as ah259 wildh7704 roeh6643. of foot: Heb. of his feet

Then Abnerh74 lookedh6437h8799 behindh310 him, and saidh559h8799, Art thou Asahelh6214? And he answeredh559h8799, I am .

21

And Abnerh74 saidh559h8799 to him, Turn thee asideh5186h8798 to thy right handh3225 or to thy lefth8040, and lay thee holdh270h8798 on oneh259 of the young menh5288, and takeh3947h8798 thee his armourh2488.

23

Howbeit he refusedh3985h8762 to turn asideh5493h8800: wherefore Abnerh74 with the hinder endh310 of the spearh2595 smoteh5221h8686 him underh413 the fifthh2570 rib , that the spearh2595 came outh3318h8799 behindh310 him; and he fell downh5307h8799 there, and diedh4191h8799 in the same placeh8478: and it came to pass, that as many as cameh935h8802 to the placeh4725 where Asahelh6214 fell downh5307h8804 and diedh4191h8799 stood stillh5975h8799.

24

Joabh3097 also and Abishaih52 pursuedh7291h8799 afterh310 Abnerh74: and the sunh8121 went downh935h8804 when they were comeh935h8804 to the hillh1389 of Ammahh522, that lieth beforeh6440 Giahh1520 by the wayh1870 of the wildernessh4057 of Gibeonh1391.

25

And the childrenh1121 of Benjaminh1144 gathered themselves togetherh6908h8691 afterh310 Abnerh74, and became oneh259 trooph92, and stoodh5975h8799 on the toph7218 of an hillh1389.

26

Then Abnerh74 calledh7121h8799 to Joabh3097, and saidh559h8799, Shall the swordh2719 devourh398h8799 for everh5331? knowesth3045h8804 thou not that it will be bitternessh4751 in the latter endh314? how long shall it be then, ere thou bidh559h8799 the peopleh5971 returnh7725h8800 from followingh310 their brethrenh251?

27

And Joabh3097 saidh559h8799, As Godh430 livethh2416, unlessh3884 thou hadst spokenh1696h8765, surely then in the morningh1242 the peopleh5971 had gone uph5927h8738 every oneh376 from followingh310 his brotherh251. in the...: Heb. from the morning

29

And Abnerh74 and his menh582 walkedh1980h8804 all that nighth3915 through the plainh6160, and passed overh5674h8799 Jordanh3383, and went throughh3212h8799 all Bithronh1338, and they cameh935h8799 to Mahanaimh4266.

30

And Joabh3097 returnedh7725h8804 from followingh310 Abnerh74: and when he had gatheredh6908 all the peopleh5971 togetherh6908h8799, there lackedh6485h8735 of David'sh1732 servantsh5650 nineteenh8672h6240 menh376 and Asahelh6214.

31

But the servantsh5650 of Davidh1732 had smittenh5221h8689 of Benjaminh1144, and of Abner'sh74 menh582, so that threeh7969 hundredh3967 and threescoreh8346 menh376 diedh4191h8804.

32

And they took uph5375h8799 Asahelh6214, and buriedh6912h8799 him in the sepulchreh6913 of his fatherh1, which was in Bethlehemh1035. And Joabh3097 and his menh582 wenth3212h8799 all nighth3915, and they came to Hebronh2275 at break of dayh215h8735.
