16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
17 And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
18 And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was swift of foot, as one of the gazelles that are in the field.
19 And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from behind Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he said, I am.
