    17The battle was very severe that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.

    19Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he didn't turn to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.

    20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" He answered, "It is I."

    21Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

    22Abner 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?"

    23However he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place. It happened, that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
