2 Samuel 2:8-32

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}

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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}

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)_.

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>_.

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}

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>_.

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}

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}

Then Abner
<074>

looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

him, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou Asahel
<06214>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am].

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}

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>_?

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)_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_?

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}

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)_.

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>_.

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>_.

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)_.

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)_.
