    17The battle that day was fierce, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.

    18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was as swift on foot as a gazelle in the open field.

    19Asahel pursued Abner, turning neither to the right nor to the left as he chased him.

    20Then Abner turned and said, 'Is that you, Asahel?' He answered, 'It is I.'

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

    22Again Abner said to Asahel, 'Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you down? How could I then show my face to your brother Joab?'

    23But Asahel refused to turn aside. So Abner struck him in the stomach with the butt of his spear, and the spear came out through his back. He fell there and died on the spot. And all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died stood still.

    24But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. As the sun was setting, they came to the hill of Ammah, near Giah, on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.
