*
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there ,
Joab ,
and Abishai ,
and Asahel :
and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe .
*
And Asahel pursued after Abner ;
and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner .
*
Then Abner looked behind him ,
and said ,
Art thou Asahel ?
And he answered ,
I am .
*
And Abner said to him ,
Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left ,
and lay thee hold on one of the young men ,
and take thee his armour .
But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him .
*
And Abner said again to Asahel ,
Turn thee aside from following me :
wherefore should I smite thee to the ground ?
how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother ?
*
Howbeit he refused to turn aside :
wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth rib ,
that the spear came out behind him ;
and he fell down there ,
and died in the same place :
and it came to pass ,
that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still .
*
Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner :
and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah ,
that lieth before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon .
