2 Samuel - ch 2 v 21 - 32

  1. Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.
  2. Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I strike you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
  3. However he refused to turn aside: therefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
  4. But Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
  5. The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
  6. Then Abner called to Joab, and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Don't you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long shall it be then, before you bid the people return from following their brothers?"
  7. Joab said, As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone away, nor followed everyone his brother.
  8. So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
  9. Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
  10. Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel.
  11. But the servants of David had struck of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred sixty men died.
  12. They took up Asahel, and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
