[1] After this, David inquired of Yahweh, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?”Yahweh said to him, “Go up.”David said, “Where shall I go up?”He said, “To Hebron.” [2] So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. [3] David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron. [4] The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.” [5] David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by Yahweh, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him. [6] Now may Yahweh show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing. [7] Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.” [8] Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim. [9] He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel. [10] Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David. [11] The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. [12] Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. [13] Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them 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] Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!”Joab said, “Let them arise!” [15] Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants. [16] They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.ⓘ [17] The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants. [18] The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle. [19] Asahel pursued Abner. He didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner. [20] Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?”He answered, “It is.” [21] Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him. [22] Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?” [23] However, he refused to turn away. 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. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still. [24] But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon. [25] The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill. [26] Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Don’t you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?” [27] Joab said, “As God§ lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.” [28] So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more. [29] Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim. [30] Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing. [31] But David’s servants had struck Benjamin and Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died. [32] They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.

King of Judah

[1] And it came to pass after this, H310 that David H1732 enquired H7592 of the Lord, H3068 saying, H559 Shall I go up H5927 into any H259 of the cities H5892 of Judah? H3063 And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto him, Go up. H5927 And David H1732 said, H559 Whither shall I go up? H5927 And he said, H559 Unto Hebron. H2275 [2] So David H1732 went up H5927 thither, and his two H8147 wives H802 also, Ahinoam H293 the Jezreelitess, H3159 and Abigail H26 Nabal’s H5037 wife H802 the Carmelite. H3761 [3] And his men H582 that were with him did David H1732 bring up, H5927 every man H376 with H5973 his household: H1004 and they dwelt H3427 in the cities H5892 of Hebron. H2275 [4] And the men H582 of Judah H3063 came, H935 and there they anointed H4886 David H1732 king H4428 over H5921 the house H1004 of Judah. H3063And they told H5046 David, H1732 saying, H559 That the men H582 of Jabesh-gilead H3003 H1568 were they that buried H6912 H853 Saul. H7586 [5] And David H1732 sent H7971 messengers H4397 unto the men H582 of Jabesh-gilead, H3003 H1568 and said H559 unto them, Blessed H1288 be ye of the Lord, H3068 that ye have shewed H6213 this H2088 kindness H2617 unto your lord, H113 even unto Saul, H7586 and have buried H6912 him. [6] And now the Lord H3068 shew H6213 kindness H2617 and truth H571 unto you: and I also will requite H6213 you this kindness, H2896 because ye have done H6213 this thing. H1697 [7] Therefore now let your hands H3027 be strengthened, H2388 and be ye valiant: H1121§ H2428 for H3588 your master H113 Saul H7586 is dead, H4191 and also the house H1004 of Judah H3063 have anointed H4886 me king H4428 over them.

The End of Saul’s House

[8] But Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 captain H8269 of Saul’s H7586 host, H6635 took H3947 H853 Ish-bosheth H378 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 and brought him over H5674 to Mahanaim; H4266 [9] and made him king H4427 over H5921 Gilead, H1568 and over the Ashurites, H805 and over Jezreel, H3157 and over Ephraim, H669 and over Benjamin, H1144 and over all Israel. H3478 [10] Ish-bosheth H378 Saul’s H7586 son H1121 was forty H705 years H8141 old H1121 when he began to reign H4427 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and reigned H4427 two H8147 years. H8141 But the house H1004 of Judah H3063 followed H310 David. H1732 [11] And the time H4557§ H3117 that David H1732 was king H4428 in Hebron H2275 over H5921 the house H1004 of Judah H3063 was seven H7651 years H8141 and six H8337 months. H2320 [12] And Abner H74 the son H1121 of Ner, H5369 and the servants H5650 of Ish-bosheth H378 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 went out H3318 from Mahanaim H4266 to Gibeon. H1391 [13] And Joab H3097 the son H1121 of Zeruiah, H6870 and the servants H5650 of David, H1732 went out, H3318 and met H6298 together H3162§ by the pool H1295 of Gibeon: H1391 and they sat down, H3427 the one on the one side of the pool, H1295 and the other on the other side of the pool. H1295 [14] And Abner H74 said H559 to Joab, H3097 Let the young men H5288 now arise, H6965 and play H7832 before H6440 us. And Joab H3097 said, H559 Let them arise. H6965 [15] Then there arose H6965 and went over H5674 by number H4557 twelve H8147 H6240 of Benjamin, H1144 which pertained to Ish-bosheth H378 the son H1121 of Saul, H7586 and twelve H8147 H6240 of the servants H5650 of David. H1732 [16] And they caught H2388 every one H376 his fellow H7453 by the head, H7218 and thrust his sword H2719 in his fellow’s H7453 side; H6654 so they fell down H5307 together: H3162 wherefore that place H4725 was called H7121 Helkath-hazzurim, H2521ⓘ which is in Gibeon. H1391 [17] And there was a very H3966 sore H7186 battle H4421 that day; H3117 and Abner H74 was beaten, H5062 and the men H582 of Israel, H3478 before H6440 the servants H5650 of David. H1732 [18] And there were three H7969 sons H1121 of Zeruiah H6870 there, Joab, H3097 and Abishai, H52 and Asahel: H6214 and Asahel H6214 was as light H7031 of foot H7272§ as a H259 wild H7704 roe. H6643§ [19] And Asahel H6214 pursued H7291 after H310 Abner; H74 and in going H3212 he turned H5186 not H3808 to the right hand H3225 nor to the left H8040 from following H310 Abner. H74§ [20] Then Abner H74 looked H6437 behind H310 him, and said, H559 Art thou Asahel? H6214 And he answered, H559 I am. [21] And Abner H74 said H559 to him, Turn thee aside H5186 to thy right hand H3225 or to thy left, H8040 and lay thee hold H270 on H5921 one H259 of the young men, H5288 and take H3947 H853 thee his armour. H2488§ But Asahel H6214 would H14 not H3808 turn aside H5493 from following H310 of him. [22] And Abner H74 said H559 again H3254 to Asahel, H6214 Turn thee aside H5493 from following H310 me: wherefore should I smite H5221 thee to the ground? H776 how then should I hold up H5375 my face H6440 to Joab H3097 thy brother? H251 [23] Howbeit he refused H3985 to turn aside: H5493 wherefore Abner H74 with the hinder end H310 of the spear H2595 smote H5221 him under H413 the fifth H2570 rib, that the spear H2595 came out H3318 behind H310 him; and he fell down H5307 there, and died H4191 in the same place: H8478 and it came to pass, that as many as came H935 to the place H4725 where H834 Asahel H6214 fell down H5307 and died H4191 stood still. H5975 [24] Joab H3097 also and Abishai H52 pursued H7291 after H310 Abner: H74 and the sun H8121 went down H935 when they were come H935 to the hill H1389 of Ammah, H522 that lieth before H6440 Giah H1520 by the way H1870 of the wilderness H4057 of Gibeon. H1391 [25] And the children H1121 of Benjamin H1144 gathered themselves together H6908 after H310 Abner, H74 and became one H259 troop, H92 and stood H5975 on H5921 the top H7218 of an hill. H1389 [26] Then Abner H74 called H7121 to Joab, H3097 and said, H559 Shall the sword H2719 devour H398 for H3588 ever? H5331 knowest H3045 thou not that it will be bitterness H4751 in the latter end? H314 how long shall it be then, ere thou bid H559 the people H5971 return H7725 from following H310 their brethren? H251 [27] And Joab H3097 said, H559 As God H430 liveth, H2416 unless H3884 thou hadst spoken, H1696 surely H3588 then H227 in the morning H1242§ the people H5971 had gone up H5927§ every one H376 from following H310 his brother. H251 [28] So Joab H3097 blew H8628 a trumpet, H7782 and all the people H5971 stood still, H5975 and pursued H7291 after H310 Israel H3478 no more, neither fought H3898 they any more. H3254 [29] And Abner H74 and his men H582 walked H1980 all H3605 that night H3915 through the plain, H6160 and passed over H5674 H853 Jordan, H3383 and went through H3212 all H3605 Bithron, H1338 and they came H935 to Mahanaim. H4266 [30] And Joab H3097 returned H7725 from following H310 Abner: H74 and when he had gathered H6908 all H3605 the people H5971 together, H6908 there lacked H6485 of David’s H1732 servants H5650 nineteen H8672 H6240 men H376 and Asahel. H6214 [31] But the servants H5650 of David H1732 had smitten H5221 of Benjamin, H1144 and of Abner’s H74 men, H582 so that three H7969 hundred H3967 and threescore H8346 men H376 died. H4191 [32] And they took up H5375 H853 Asahel, H6214 and buried H6912 him in the sepulchre H6913 of his father, H1 which was in Beth-lehem. H1035 And Joab H3097 and his men H582 went H3212 all H3605 night, H3915 and they came to Hebron H2275 at break of day. H215
