*
And the three sons of Zeru '
iah were there ,
Jo '
ab ,
Abi '
shai ,
and As '
ahel .
Now As '
ahel was as swift of foot as a wild gazelle ;
*
and As '
ahel pursued Abner ,
and as he went he turned neither to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner .
*
Then Abner looked behind him and said , "
Is it you ,
As '
ahel ?"
And he answered , "
It is I ."
*
Abner said to him , "
Turn aside to your right hand or to your left ,
and seize one of the young men ,
and take his spoil ."
But As '
ahel would not turn aside from following him .
*
And Abner said again to As '
ahel , "
Turn aside from following me ;
why should I smite you to the ground ?
How then could I lift up my face to your brother Jo '
ab ?"
*
But he refused to turn aside ;
therefore Abner smote him in the belly with the butt of his spear ,
so that the spear came out at his back ;
and he fell there ,
and died where he was .
And all who came to the place where As '
ahel had fallen and died ,
stood still .
*
But Jo '
ab and Abi '
shai pursued Abner ;
and as the sun was going down they came to the hill of Ammah ,
which lies before Gi '
ah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon .
