2:8
But Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
captain
<08269>
of Saul's
<07586>
host
<06635>_,
took
<03947> (8804)
Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and brought him over
<05674> (8686)
to Mahanaim
<04266>_;
{Saul's host: Heb. the host which was Saul's} {Ishbosheth: or, Eshbaal}
2:9
And made him king
<04427> (8686)
over Gilead
<01568>_,
and over the Ashurites
<0805>_,
and over Jezreel
<03157>_,
and over Ephraim
<0669>_,
and over Benjamin
<01144>_,
and over all Israel
<03478>_.
2:10
Ishbosheth
<0378>
Saul's
<07586>
son
<01121>
[was] forty
<0705>
years
<08141>
old
<01121>
when he began to reign
<04427> (8800)
over Israel
<03478>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8804)
two
<08147>
years
<08141>_.
But the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
followed
<0310>
David
<01732>_.
2:11
And the time
<04557> <03117>
that David
<01732>
was king
<04428>
in Hebron
<02275>
over the house
<01004>
of Judah
<03063>
was seven
<07651>
years
<08141>
and six
<08337>
months
<02320>_.
{time: Heb. number of days}
2:12
And Abner
<074>
the son
<01121>
of Ner
<05369>_,
and the servants
<05650>
of Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
went out
<03318> (8799)
from Mahanaim
<04266>
to Gibeon
<01391>_.
2:13
And Joab
<03097>
the son
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>_,
and the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_,
went out
<03318> (8804)_,
and met
<06298> (8799)
together
<03162>
by the pool
<01295>
of Gibeon
<01391>_:
and they sat down
<03427> (8799)_,
the one on the one side of the pool
<01295>_,
and the other on the other side of the pool
<01295>_.
{together: Heb. them together}
2:14
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
Let the young men
<05288>
now arise
<06965> (8799)_,
and play
<07832> (8762)
before
<06440>
us. And Joab
<03097>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let them arise
<06965> (8799)_.
2:15
Then there arose
<06965> (8799)
and went over
<05674> (8799)
by number
<04557>
twelve
<08147> <06240>
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
which [pertained] to Ishbosheth
<0378>
the son
<01121>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and twelve
<08147> <06240>
of the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_.
2:16
And they caught
<02388> (8686)
every one
<0376>
his fellow
<07453>
by the head
<07218>_,
and [thrust] his sword
<02719>
in his fellow's
<07453>
side
<06654>_;
so they fell down
<05307> (8799)
together
<03162>_:
wherefore that place
<04725>
was called
<07121> (8799)
Helkathhazzurim
<02521>_,
which [is] in Gibeon
<01391>_.
{Helkathhazzurim: that is, The field of strong men}
2:17
And there was a very
<03966>
sore
<07186>
battle
<04421>
that day
<03117>_;
and Abner
<074>
was beaten
<05062> (8735)_,
and the men
<0582>
of Israel
<03478>_,
before
<06440>
the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>_.
2:18
And there were three
<07969>
sons
<01121>
of Zeruiah
<06870>
there, Joab
<03097>_,
and Abishai
<052>_,
and Asahel
<06214>_:
and Asahel
<06214>
[was as] light
<07031>
of foot
<07272>
as a
<0259>
wild
<07704>
roe
<06643>_.
{of foot: Heb. of his feet} {as a wild...: Heb. as one of the roes that is in the field}
2:19
And Asahel
<06214>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_;
and in going
<03212> (8800)
he turned
<05186> (8804)
not to the right hand
<03225>
nor to the left
<08040>
from following
<0310>
Abner
<074>_.
{from...: Heb. from after Abner}
2:20
Then Abner
<074>
looked
<06437> (8799)
behind
<0310>
him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Art] thou Asahel
<06214>_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I [am].
2:21
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8799)
to him, Turn thee aside
<05186> (8798)
to thy right hand
<03225>
or to thy left
<08040>_,
and lay thee hold
<0270> (8798)
on one
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
thee his armour
<02488>_.
But Asahel
<06214>
would
<014> (8804)
not turn aside
<05493> (8800)
from following
<0310>
of him. {armour: or, spoil}
2:22
And Abner
<074>
said
<0559> (8800)
again
<03254> (8686)
to Asahel
<06214>_,
Turn thee aside
<05493> (8798)
from following
<0310>
me: wherefore should I smite
<05221> (8686)
thee to the ground
<0776>_?
how then should I hold up
<05375> (8799)
my face
<06440>
to Joab
<03097>
thy brother
<0251>_?
2:23
Howbeit he refused
<03985> (8762)
to turn aside
<05493> (8800)_:
wherefore Abner
<074>
with the hinder end
<0310>
of the spear
<02595>
smote
<05221> (8686)
him under
<0413>
the fifth
<02570>
[rib], that the spear
<02595>
came out
<03318> (8799)
behind
<0310>
him; and he fell down
<05307> (8799)
there, and died
<04191> (8799)
in the same place
<08478>_:
and it came to pass, [that] as many as came
<0935> (8802)
to the place
<04725>
where Asahel
<06214>
fell down
<05307> (8804)
and died
<04191> (8799)
stood still
<05975> (8799)_.
2:24
Joab
<03097>
also and Abishai
<052>
pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_:
and the sun
<08121>
went down
<0935> (8804)
when they were come
<0935> (8804)
to the hill
<01389>
of Ammah
<0522>_,
that [lieth] before
<06440>
Giah
<01520>
by the way
<01870>
of the wilderness
<04057>
of Gibeon
<01391>_.
2:25
And the children
<01121>
of Benjamin
<01144>
gathered themselves together
<06908> (8691)
after
<0310>
Abner
<074>_,
and became one
<0259>
troop
<092>_,
and stood
<05975> (8799)
on the top
<07218>
of an hill
<01389>_.
2:26
Then Abner
<074>
called
<07121> (8799)
to Joab
<03097>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Shall the sword
<02719>
devour
<0398> (8799)
for ever
<05331>_?
knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou not that it will be bitterness
<04751>
in the latter end
<0314>_?
how long shall it be then, ere thou bid
<0559> (8799)
the people
<05971>
return
<07725> (8800)
from following
<0310>
their brethren
<0251>_?
2:27
And Joab
<03097>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] God
<0430>
liveth
<02416>_,
unless
<03884>
thou hadst spoken
<01696> (8765)_,
surely then in the morning
<01242>
the people
<05971>
had gone up
<05927> (8738)
every one
<0376>
from following
<0310>
his brother
<0251>_.
{in the...: Heb. from the morning} {gone...: or, gone away}
2:28
So Joab
<03097>
blew
<08628> (8799)
a trumpet
<07782>_,
and all the people
<05971>
stood still
<05975> (8799)_,
and pursued
<07291> (8799)
after
<0310>
Israel
<03478>
no more, neither fought
<03898> (8736)
they any more
<03254> (8804)_.
2:29
And Abner
<074>
and his men
<0582>
walked
<01980> (8804)
all that night
<03915>
through the plain
<06160>_,
and passed over
<05674> (8799)
Jordan
<03383>_,
and went through
<03212> (8799)
all Bithron
<01338>_,
and they came
<0935> (8799)
to Mahanaim
<04266>_.
2:30
And Joab
<03097>
returned
<07725> (8804)
from following
<0310>
Abner
<074>_:
and when he had gathered
<06908> (0)
all the people
<05971>
together
<06908> (8799)_,
there lacked
<06485> (8735)
of David's
<01732>
servants
<05650>
nineteen
<08672> <06240>
men
<0376>
and Asahel
<06214>_.
2:31
But the servants
<05650>
of David
<01732>
had smitten
<05221> (8689)
of Benjamin
<01144>_,
and of Abner's
<074>
men
<0582>_,
[so that] three
<07969>
hundred
<03967>
and threescore
<08346>
men
<0376>
died
<04191> (8804)_.
2:32
And they took up
<05375> (8799)
Asahel
<06214>_,
and buried
<06912> (8799)
him in the sepulchre
<06913>
of his father
<01>_,
which [was in] Bethlehem
<01035>_.
And Joab
<03097>
and his men
<0582>
went
<03212> (8799)
all night
<03915>_,
and they came to Hebron
<02275>
at break of day
<0215> (8735)_.
3:1
Now there was long
<0752>
war
<04421>
between the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
and the house
<01004>
of David
<01732>_:
but David
<01732>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
stronger
<02390>
and stronger
<02390>_,
and the house
<01004>
of Saul
<07586>
waxed
<01980> (8802)
weaker
<01800>
and weaker
<01800>_.
