[1]And it came to pass after thisH310, that DavidH1732 enquiredH7592[H8799] of the LORDH3068, sayingH559[H8800], Shall I go upH5927[H8799] into anyH259 of the citiesH5892 of JudahH3063? And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Go upH5927[H8798]. And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], Whither shall I go upH5927[H8799]? And he saidH559[H8799], Unto HebronH2275. |

[2]So DavidH1732 went upH5927[H8799] thither, and his twoH8147 wivesH802 also, AhinoamH293 the JezreelitessH3159, and AbigailH26 Nabal'sH5037 wifeH802 the CarmeliteH3761. |
[No book] |
[3]And his menH582 that were with him did DavidH1732 bring upH5927[H8689], every manH376 with his householdH1004: and they dweltH3427[H8799] in the citiesH5892 of HebronH2275. |
[No book] |
[4]And the menH582 of JudahH3063 cameH935[H8799], and there they anointedH4886[H8799] DavidH1732 kingH4428 over the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. And they toldH5046[H8686] DavidH1732, sayingH559[H8800], That the menH582 of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568] were they that buriedH6912[H8804] SaulH7586. |
[No book] |
[5]And DavidH1732 sentH7971[H8799] messengersH4397 unto the menH582 of JabeshgileadH3003[H1568], and saidH559[H8799] unto them, BlessedH1288[H8803] be ye of the LORDH3068, that ye have shewedH6213[H8804] this kindnessH2617 unto your lordH113, even unto SaulH7586, and have buriedH6912 himH8799. |
[No book] |
[6]And now the LORDH3068 shewH6213[H8799] kindnessH2617 and truthH571 unto you: and I also will requiteH6213[H8799] you this kindnessH2896, because ye have doneH6213[H8804] this thingH1697. |
[No book] |
[7]Therefore now let your handsH3027 be strengthenedH2388[H8799], and be ye valiantH1121[H2428]: for your masterH113 SaulH7586 is deadH4191[H8804], and also the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 have anointedH4886[H8804] me king over themH4428. |

[8]But AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of Saul'sH7586 hostH6635, tookH3947[H8804] IshboshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and brought him overH5674[H8686] to MahanaimH4266; |
[No book] |
[9]And made him kingH4427[H8686] over GileadH1568, and over the AshuritesH805, and over JezreelH3157, and over EphraimH669, and over BenjaminH1144, and over all IsraelH3478. |

[10]IshboshethH378 Saul'sH7586 sonH1121 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427[H8800] over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427[H8804] twoH8147 yearsH8141. But the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 followedH310 DavidH1732. |
[No book] |
[11]And the timeH4557[H3117] that DavidH1732 was kingH4428 in HebronH2275 over the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and sixH8337 monthsH2320. |
[No book] |
[12]And AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and the servantsH5650 of IshboshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, went outH3318[H8799] from MahanaimH4266 to GibeonH1391. |
[No book] |
[13]And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, went outH3318[H8804], and metH6298[H8799] togetherH3162 by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391: and they sat downH3427[H8799], the one on the one side of the poolH1295, and the other on the other side of the poolH1295. |
[No book] |
[14]And AbnerH74 saidH559[H8799] to JoabH3097, Let the young menH5288 now ariseH6965[H8799], and playH7832[H8762] beforeH6440 us. And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799], Let them ariseH6965.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[15]Then there aroseH6965[H8799] and went overH5674[H8799] by numberH4557 twelveH8147[H6240] of BenjaminH1144, which pertained to IshboshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH8147[H6240] of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. |
[No book] |
[16]And they caughtH2388[H8686] every oneH376 his fellowH7453 by the headH7218, and thrust his swordH2719 in his fellow'sH7453 sideH6654; so they fell downH5307[H8799] togetherH3162: wherefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121[H8799] HelkathhazzurimH2521, which is in GibeonH1391. |
[No book] |
[17]And there was a veryH3966 soreH7186 battleH4421 that dayH3117; and AbnerH74 was beatenH5062[H8735], and the menH582 of IsraelH3478, beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. |
[No book] |
[18]And there were threeH7969 sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 there, JoabH3097, and AbishaiH52, and AsahelH6214: and AsahelH6214 was as lightH7031 of footH7272 as aH259 wildH7704 roeH6643. |
[No book] |
[19]And AsahelH6214 pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 AbnerH74; and in goingH3212[H8800] he turnedH5186[H8804] not to the right handH3225 nor to the leftH8040 from followingH310 AbnerH74. |
[No book] |
[20]Then AbnerH74 lookedH6437[H8799] behindH310 him, and saidH559[H8799], Art thou AsahelH6214? And he answeredH559, I amH8799. |
[No book] |
[21]And AbnerH74 saidH559[H8799] to him, Turn thee asideH5186[H8798] to thy right handH3225 or to thy leftH8040, and lay thee holdH270[H8798] on oneH259 of the young menH5288, and takeH3947[H8798] thee his armourH2488. But AsahelH6214 wouldH14[H8804] not turn asideH5493[H8800] from following of himH310. |
[No book] |
[22]And AbnerH74 saidH559[H8800] againH3254[H8686] to AsahelH6214, Turn thee asideH5493[H8798] from followingH310 me: wherefore should I smiteH5221[H8686] thee to the groundH776? how then should I hold upH5375[H8799] my faceH6440 to JoabH3097 thy brotherH251? |
[No book] |
[23]Howbeit he refusedH3985[H8762] to turn asideH5493[H8800]: wherefore AbnerH74 with the hinder endH310 of the spearH2595 smoteH5221[H8686] him underH413 the fifthH2570 rib, that the spearH2595 came outH3318[H8799] behindH310 him; and he fell downH5307[H8799] there, and diedH4191[H8799] in the same placeH8478: and it came to pass, that as many as cameH935[H8802] to the placeH4725 where AsahelH6214 fell downH5307[H8804] and diedH4191[H8799] stood stillH5975.[H8799] |
[No book] |
[24]JoabH3097 also and AbishaiH52 pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 AbnerH74: and the sunH8121 went downH935[H8804] when they were comeH935[H8804] to the hillH1389 of AmmahH522, that lieth beforeH6440 GiahH1520 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of GibeonH1391. |
[No book] |
[25]And the childrenH1121 of BenjaminH1144 gathered themselves togetherH6908[H8691] afterH310 AbnerH74, and became oneH259 troopH92, and stoodH5975[H8799] on the topH7218 of an hillH1389. |
[No book] |
[26]Then AbnerH74 calledH7121[H8799] to JoabH3097, and saidH559[H8799], Shall the swordH2719 devourH398[H8799] for everH5331? knowestH3045[H8804] thou not that it will be bitternessH4751 in the latter endH314? how long shall it be then, ere thou bidH559[H8799] the peopleH5971 returnH7725[H8800] from followingH310 their brethrenH251? |
[No book] |
[27]And JoabH3097 saidH559[H8799], As GodH430 livethH2416, unlessH3884 thou hadst spokenH1696[H8765], surely then in the morningH1242 the peopleH5971 had gone upH5927[H8738] every oneH376 from followingH310 his brotherH251. |
[No book] |
[28]So JoabH3097 blewH8628[H8799] a trumpetH7782, and all the peopleH5971 stood stillH5975[H8799], and pursuedH7291[H8799] afterH310 IsraelH3478 no more, neither foughtH3898[H8736] they any moreH3254.[H8804] |
[No book] |
[29]And AbnerH74 and his menH582 walkedH1980[H8804] all that nightH3915 through the plainH6160, and passed overH5674[H8799] JordanH3383, and went throughH3212[H8799] all BithronH1338, and they cameH935[H8799] to MahanaimH4266. |
[No book] |
[30]And JoabH3097 returnedH7725[H8804] from followingH310 AbnerH74: and when he had gatheredH6908 all the peopleH5971 togetherH6908[H8799], there lackedH6485[H8735] of David'sH1732 servantsH5650 nineteenH8672[H6240] menH376 and AsahelH6214. |
[No book] |
[31]But the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 had smittenH5221[H8689] of BenjaminH1144, and of Abner'sH74 menH582, so that threeH7969 hundredH3967 and threescoreH8346 menH376 diedH4191.[H8804] |
[No book] |
[32]And they took upH5375[H8799] AsahelH6214, and buriedH6912[H8799] him in the sepulchreH6913 of his fatherH1, which was in BethlehemH1035. And JoabH3097 and his menH582 wentH3212[H8799] all nightH3915, and they came to HebronH2275 at break of dayH215.[H8735] |
