⁶ And they came there, all the way into the house, as though to get wheat, and they ^[a]stabbed him ^(A)in the stomach. Then Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

²³ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him ^(A)in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood ^(B)still.

¹⁰ But Amasa did not notice the sword that was in Joab’s hand. And ^(A)he struck him with it ^(B)in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died.

Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

²⁷ Now when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab ^(A)took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there ^[a]stabbed him ^(B)in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of ^(C)Asahel his brother.
