1
And it
came
to pass after this
,
that David
inquired
of the LORD
,
saying
,
Shall I go up
into any
of the cities
of
Judah
? And the LORD
said
unto him, Go up.
And David
said
,
Whither shall I go up
? And he
said
,
Unto Hebron
.
2
So David
went up
thither, and his two
wives
also
, Ahinoam
the Jezreelitess
,
and Abigail
Nabal's
wife
the Carmelite
.
3
And his men
that
were
with him did David
bring up
,
every man
with his household
:
and they dwelt
in the cities
of Hebron
.
4
And
the men
of Judah
came
,
and there
they anointed
David
king
over
the house
of Judah
.
And they told
David
,
saying
,
That
the men
of Jabeshgilead
were they
that buried
Saul
.
5
And David
sent
messengers
unto
the men
of Jabeshgilead,
and said
unto them, Blessed
be
ye of the LORD
,
that ye have shewed
this
kindness
unto your lord
,
even
unto Saul
,
and have buried
him.
6
And now the LORD
shew
kindness
and truth
unto you: and I
also
will requite you
this
kindness
,
because
ye have done
this
thing
.
7
Therefore now let your hands
be strengthened
, and be ye valiant:
for your master
Saul
is dead
,
and also
the house
of Judah
have anointed
me king
over
them.
8
But Abner
the son
of Ner
,
captain
of Saul
's
host
,
took
Ishbosheth
the son
of Saul
,
and brought him over
to Mahanaim
;
9
And made him king
over
Gilead
,
and
over
the Ashurites
,
and
over
Jezreel
,
and
over
Ephraim
,
and
over
Benjamin
,
and
over
all
Israel
.
10
Ishbosheth
Saul's
son
was
forty
years
old
when he began to reign
over
Israel
,
and reigned
two
years
.
But the house
of Judah
followed
David
.
11
And the time
that David
was king
in Hebron
over
the house
of Judah
was seven
years
and six
months
.
12
And Abner
the son
of Ner
,
and the servants
of Ishbosheth
the son
of Saul
,
went out
from Mahanaim
to Gibeon
.
13
And Joab
the son
of Zeruiah
,
and the servants
of David
,
went out
,
and met
together
by the pool
of Gibeon
:
and they sat down
,
the
one
on
the
one
side
of the pool
,
and the other on the other
side
of the pool
.
14
And Abner
said
to Joab
,
Let the young men
now arise
,
and play
before
us. And Joab
said
,
Let them arise
.
15
Then there arose
and went over
by number
twelve
of Benjamin
,
which
pertained
to Ishbosheth
the son
of Saul
, and twelve
of the servants
of David
.
16
And they caught
every one
his fellow
by the head
,
and
thrust
his sword
in
his fellow
's
side
;
so they fell down
together:
wherefore that place
was called
Helkathhazzurim
,
which
is
in Gibeon
.
17
And there was a very
sore
battle
that day
;
and Abner
was beaten
,
and the men
of Israel
,
before
the servants
of David
.
18
And there were three
sons
of Zeruiah
there, Joab,
and Abishai
,
and Asahel
:
and Asahel
was as
light
of foot
as a
wild
roe
.
19
And Asahel
pursued
after
Abner
; and in going
he turned
not to the right hand
nor to the left
from following
Abner
.
20
Then Abner
looked
behind
him,
and said
,
Art
thou
Asahel
? And he answered, I
am
.
21
And Abner
said
to him, Turn thee aside
to thy right hand
or
to thy left,
and lay thee hold
on one
of the young men
,
and take
thee his armour
.
But Asahel
would
not turn aside
from following
of him.
22
And Abner
said
again
to Asahel
,
Turn thee aside
from following
me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground?
how
then should I hold up
my face
to Joab
thy brother?
23
Howbeit he refused
to turn aside
:
wherefore Abner
with the hinder end
of the spear
smote
him under
the fifth
rib
, that the spear
came
out
behind
him; and he
fell down
there
,
and died
in the same place: and it
came
to pass,
that
as many as
came
to the place
where Asahel
fell down
and died
stood still
.
24
Joab
also and Abishai
pursued
after
Abner
:
and the sun
went down
when they were come
to the hill
of Ammah
,
that
lieth
before
Giah
by the way
of the wilderness
of Gibeon
.
25
And the children
of Benjamin
gathered themselves together
after
Abner
,
and became
one
troop
,
and stood
on the top
of an hill
.
26
Then Abner
called
to Joab
,
and said
,
Shall the sword
devour
for ever? knowest
thou not that it will be bitterness
in the latter end? how
long
shall it be then, ere thou bid
the people
return
from following
their brethren?
27
And Joab
said
,
As
God
liveth
, unless
thou hadst spoken
,
surely
then
in the morning
the people
had gone up
every one
from following
his brother
.
28
So Joab
blew
a trumpet
,
and all
the people
stood still
,
and pursued
after
Israel
no
more, neither fought
they any more
.
29
And Abner
and his men
walked
all
that night
through the plain
,
and passed over
Jordan
, and went through
all
Bithron
,
and they came
to Mahanaim
.
30
And Joab
returned
from following
Abner
: and when he had gathered
all
the people
together
,
there lacked
of David's
servants
nineteen men
and Asahel
.
31
But the servants
of David
had smitten
of Benjamin
,
and of Abner's
men
,
so that
three
hundred
and threescore
men
died
.
32
And they took up
Asahel
,
and buried
him in the sepulchre
of his father
,
which
was in
Bethlehem
.
And Joab
and his men
went
all
night
,
and they came to Hebron
at break of day
.
