And it came to pass after this,
H1732
that David
H7592 [H8799]
enquired
H3068
of the LORD,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H5927 [H8799]
Shall I go up
H259
into any
H5892
of the cities
H3063
of Judah?
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H5927 [H8798]
to him, Go up.
H1732
And David
H559 [H8799]
said,
H5927 [H8799]
Where shall I go up?
H559 [H8799]
And he said,
H2275
To Hebron.
2
H1732
So David
H5927 [H8799]
went up
H8147
there, and his two
H802
wives
H293
also, Ahinoam
H3159
the Jezreelitess,
H26
and Abigail
H5037
Nabal's
H802
wife
H3761
the Carmelite.
3
H582
And his men
H1732
that were with him did David
H5927 [H8689]
bring up,
H376
every man
H1004
with his household:
H3427 [H8799]
and they dwelt
H5892
in the cities
H2275
of Hebron.
4
H582
And the men
H3063
of Judah
H935 [H8799]
came,
H4886 [H8799]
and there they anointed
H1732
David
H4428
king
H1004
over the house
H3063
of Judah.
H5046 [H8686]
And they told
H1732
David,
H559 [H8800]
saying,
H582
That the men
H3003 H1568
of Jabeshgilead
H6912 [H8804]
were they that buried
H7586
Saul.
5
H1732
And David
H7971 [H8799]
sent
H4397
messengers
H582
to the men
H3003 H1568
of Jabeshgilead,
H559 [H8799]
and said
H1288 [H8803]
to them, Blessed
H3068
be ye of the LORD,
H6213 [H8804]
that ye have shown
H2617
this mercy
H113
to your sovereign,
H7586
even to Saul,
H6912 [H8799]
and have buried him.
6
H3068
And now the LORD
H6213 [H8799]
show
H2617
mercy
H571
and truth
H6213 [H8799]
to you: and I also will repay
H2896
you this kindness,
H6213 [H8804]
because ye have done
H1697
this thing.
7
H3027
Therefore now let your hands
H2388 [H8799]
be strengthened,
H1121 H2428
and be ye valiant:
H113
for your master
H7586
Saul
H4191 [H8804]
is dead,
H1004
and also the house
H3063
of Judah
H4886 [H8804]
have anointed
H4428
me king over them.
8
H74
But Abner
H1121
the son
H5369
of Ner,
H8269
captain
H7586
of Saul's
H6635
host,
H3947 [H8804]
took
H378
Ishbosheth
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul,
H5674 [H8686]
and brought him over
H4266
to Mahanaim;
9
H4427 [H8686]
And he made him king
H1568
over Gilead,
H805
and over the Ashurites,
H3157
and over Jezreel,
H669
and over Ephraim,
H1144
and over Benjamin,
H3478
and over all Israel.
10
H378
Ishbosheth
H7586
Saul's
H1121
son
H705
was forty
H8141
years
H1121
old
H4427 [H8800]
when he began to reign
H3478
over Israel,
H4427 [H8804]
and he reigned
H8147
two
H8141
years.
H1004
But the house
H3063
of Judah
H310
followed
H1732
David.
11
H4557 H3117
And the time
H1732
that David
H4428
was king
H2275
in Hebron
H1004
over the house
H3063
of Judah
H7651
was seven
H8141
years
H8337
and six
H2320
months.
12
H74
And Abner
H1121
the son
H5369
of Ner,
H5650
and the servants
H378
of Ishbosheth
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul,
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H4266
from Mahanaim
H1391
to Gibeon.
13
H3097
And Joab
H1121
the son
H6870
of Zeruiah,
H5650
and the servants
H1732
of David,
H3318 [H8804]
went out,
H6298 [H8799]
and met
H3162
together
H1295
by the pool
H1391
of Gibeon:
H3427 [H8799]
and they sat down,
H1295
the one on the one side of the pool,
H1295
and the other on the other side of the pool.
14
H74
And Abner
H559 [H8799]
said
H3097
to Joab,
H5288
Let the young men
H6965 [H8799]
now arise,
H7832 [H8762]
and fight
H6440
at the face of
H3097
us. And Joab
H559 [H8799]
said,
H6965 [H8799]
Let them arise.
15
H6965 [H8799]
Then there arose
H5674 [H8799]
and went over
H4557
by number
H8147 H6240
twelve
H1144
of Benjamin,
H378
who pertained to Ishbosheth
H1121
the son
H7586
of Saul,
H8147 H6240
and twelve
H5650
of the servants
H1732
of David.
16
H2388 [H8686]
And they caught
H376
every one
H7453
his opponent
H7218
by the head,
H2719
and thrust his sword
H7453
in his opponent's
H6654
side;
H5307 [H8799]
so they fell down
H3162
together:
H4725
therefore that place
H7121 [H8799]
was called
H2521
Helkathhazzurim,
H1391
which is in Gibeon.
17
H3966
And there was a very
H7186
severe
H4421
battle
H3117
that day;
H74
and Abner
H5062 [H8735]
was smitten,
H582
and the men
H3478
of Israel,
H6440
at the face of
H5650
the servants
H1732
of David.
18
H7969
And there were three
H1121
sons
H6870
of Zeruiah
H3097
there, Joab,
H52
and Abishai,
H6214
and Asahel:
H6214
and Asahel
H7031
was as light
H7272
of foot
H259
as a
H7704
wild
H6643
roe.
19
H6214
And Asahel
H7291 [H8799]
pursued
H310
after
H74
Abner;
H3212 [H8800]
and in going
H5186 [H8804]
he turned
H3225
not to the right hand
H8040
nor to the left
H310
from following
H74
Abner.
20
H74
Then Abner
H6437 [H8799]
looked
H310
behind
H559 [H8799]
him, and said,
H6214
Art thou Asahel?
H559 [H8799]
And he answered, I am.
21
H74
And Abner
H559 [H8799]
said
H5186 [H8798]
to him, Turn thee aside
H3225
to thy right hand
H8040
or to thy left,
H270 [H8798]
and lay hold
H259
on one
H5288
of the young men,
H3947 [H8798]
and take
H2488
to thee his armour.
H6214
But Asahel
H14 [H8804]
would
H5493 [H8800]
not turn aside
H310
from following him.
22
H74
And Abner
H559 [H8800]
said
H3254 [H8686]
again
H6214
to Asahel,
H5493 [H8798]
Turn thee aside
H310
from following
H5221 [H8686]
me: why should I smite
H776
thee to the earth?
H5375 [H8799]
how then should I hold up
H6440
my face
H3097
to Joab
H251
thy brother?
23
H3985 [H8762]
But he refused
H5493 [H8800]
to turn aside:
H74
therefore Abner
H310
with the blunt end
H2595
of the spear
H5221 [H8686]
smote
H413
him under
H2570
the fifth
H2595
rib, that the spear
H3318 [H8799]
came out
H310
behind
H5307 [H8799]
him; and he fell down
H4191 [H8799]
there, and died
H8478
in the same place:
H935 [H8802]
and it came to pass, that as many as came
H4725
to the place
H6214
where Asahel
H5307 [H8804]
fell down
H4191 [H8799]
and died
H5975 [H8799]
stood still.
24
H3097
Joab
H52
also and Abishai
H7291 H310 [H8799]
pursued
H74
Abner:
H8121
and the sun
H935 [H8804]
went down
H935 [H8804]
when they had come
H1389
to the hill
H522
of Ammah,
H6440
that lieth at the face of
H1520
Giah
H1870
by the way
H4057
of the wilderness
H1391
of Gibeon.
25
H1121
And the sons
H1144
of Benjamin
H6908 [H8691]
gathered themselves together
H310
after
H74
Abner,
H259
and became one
H92
troop,
H5975 [H8799]
and stood
H7218
on the top
H1389
of an hill.
26
H74
Then Abner
H7121 [H8799]
called
H3097
to Joab,
H559 [H8799]
and said,
H2719
Shall the sword
H398 [H8799]
devour
H5331
for ever?
H3045 [H8804]
knowest
H4751
thou not that it will be bitterness
H314
in the latter end?
H559 [H8799]
how long shall it be then, before thou wilt bid
H5971
the people
H7725 [H8800]
return
H310
from following
H251
their brethren?
27
H3097
And Joab
H559 [H8799]
said,
H430
As God
H2416
liveth,
H3884
unless
H1696 [H8765]
thou hadst spoken,
H1242
surely then in the morning
H5971
the people
H5927 [H8738]
had gone up
H376
every one
H310
from following
H251
his brother.
28
H3097
So Joab
H8628 [H8799]
blew
H7782
a shofar,
H5971
and all the people
H5975 [H8799]
stood still,
H7291 H310 [H8799]
and pursued
H3478
Israel
H3898 [H8736]
no more, neither fought
H3254 [H8804]
they any more.
29
H74
And Abner
H582
and his men
H1980 [H8804]
walked
H3915
all that night
H6160
through the plain,
H5674 [H8799]
and passed over
H3383
Jordan,
H3212 [H8799]
and went through
H1338
all Bithron,
H935 [H8799]
and they came
H4266
to Mahanaim.
30
H3097
And Joab
H7725 [H8804]
returned
H310
from following
H74
Abner:
H6908 0
and when he had gathered
H5971
all the people
H6908 [H8799]
together,
H6485 [H8735]
there lacked
H1732
of David's
H5650
servants
H8672 H6240
nineteen
H376
men
H6214
and Asahel.
