2 Samuel 2:22-24
Lexham English Bible

22 So Abner said to Asahel once again,[a] “For your own sake,[b] turn aside from following me.[c] Why should I strike you down to the ground? How could I show my face[d] to Joab your brother?” 23 But he refused to turn away, so Abner struck him in the stomach with the butt of the spear, and the spear went out of his back. He fell there and he died on the spot.[e] Then[f] all who came to the place where Asahel fell and died just stood there.

24 So Joab and Abishai pursued[g] Abner when[h] the sun went down. And they came to the hill country of Ammah, which is before Giah[i] on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
