2 Samuel 2:18-32 - The Battle Of Gibeon
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was swift with his feet, like one of the gazelles in the field. 19 And Asahel ran after Abner, and in going he did not turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner. 20 And Abner looked behind him and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
21 And Abner said to him, Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men, and take for yourself. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. 22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
23 However he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him with the blunt end of the spear in the belly, and the spear came out behind him. And he fell down there, and died in the same place. And it happened that everyone who came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still. 24 And Joab and Abishai ran after Abner. And the sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, which lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
25 And the sons of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of a hill. 26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the end? How long shall it be then before you command the people to return from chasing their brothers?
27 And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone up each one from following his brother. 28 And Joab blew a ram's horn, and all the people stood still and did not pursue after Israel any more, nor did they fight any more. 29 And Abner and his men went all that night through the plain and passed over Jordan, and went all the forenoon and came to Mahanaim.
30 And Joab returned from following Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men and Asahel were missing from David's servants. 31 But the servants of David had stricken three hundred and sixty men of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, who died. 32 And they took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at the break of day.
