2 Samuel 2:22-24

Contemporary English Version

²² Abner said, “If you don't turn back, I'll have to kill you! Then I could never face your brother Joab again.”

²³ But Asahel would not turn back, so Abner struck him in the stomach with the back end of his spear. The spear went all the way through and came out of his back. Asahel fell down and died. Everyone who saw Asahel lying dead just stopped and stood still. ²⁴ But Joab and Abishai went after Abner. Finally, about sunset, they came to the hill of Ammah, not far from Giah on the road to Gibeon Desert.
