AKJV SA2 2:1 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 to him, Go up. And David said, Where shall I go up? And he said, To Hebron.
AKJV SA2 2:2 So David went up thither, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail Nabal's wife the Carmelite.
AKJV SA2 2:3 And his men that were with him did David bring up, every man with his household: and they dwelled in the cities of Hebron.
AKJV SA2 2:4 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.
AKJV SA2 2:5 And David sent messengers to the men of Jabeshgilead, and said to them, Blessed be you of the LORD, that you have showed this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
AKJV SA2 2:6 And now the LORD show kindness and truth to you: and I also will requite you this kindness, because you have done this thing.
AKJV SA2 2:7 Therefore now let your hands be strengthened, and be you valiant: for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.
AKJV SA2 2:8 But Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul's host, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim;
AKJV SA2 2:9 And made him king over Gilead, and over the Ashurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
AKJV SA2 2:10 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.
AKJV SA2 2:11 And the time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
AKJV SA2 2:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
AKJV SA2 2:13 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.
AKJV SA2 2:14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
AKJV SA2 2:15 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.
AKJV SA2 2:16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: why that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
AKJV SA2 2:17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
AKJV SA2 2:18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
AKJV SA2 2:19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
AKJV SA2 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.
AKJV SA2 2:21 And Abner said to him, Turn you aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay you hold on one of the young men, and take you his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
AKJV SA2 2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I smite you to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab your brother?
AKJV SA2 2:23 However, he refused to turn aside: why 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.
AKJV SA2 2:24 Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
AKJV SA2 2:25 And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.
AKJV SA2 2:26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? know you not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere you bid the people return from following their brothers?
AKJV SA2 2:27 And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.
AKJV SA2 2:28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.
AKJV SA2 2:29 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.
AKJV SA2 2:30 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.
AKJV SA2 2:31 But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and three score men died.
AKJV SA2 2:32 And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulcher of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.
