And David called one of his young men, and said, "Go and run upon him." And he smote him that he died.

After this David asked the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Juda? And the LORD said, "Go." And David answered, "Whither shall I go?" He answered, "Unto Hebron."

And David asked the LORD, and he said, "Go not. But compass them on the back side and come down upon them from the pear trees.

And the king said, "Go in peace." And so he arose and went to Hebron.
