2 Samuel

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:14
14 Then Abner said to Joab, "Let's have some of the young men get up and fight hand to hand in front of us."

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:15
15 So they stood up and were counted off - twelve men for Benjamin and Ish-Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:16
16 Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his dagger into his opponent's side, and they fell down together. So that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:17
17 A very fierce battle followed, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:18
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai and Asahel. Now Asahel was as fleet-footed as a wild gazelle.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:19
19 He chased Abner, turning neither to the right nor to the left as he pursued him.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:20
20 Abner looked behind him and asked, "Is that you, Asahel? "It is," he answered.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:21
21 And Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:22
22 So Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?"

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:23
23 However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:24
24 Joab and Abishai also pursued Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the road to the Wilderness of Gibeon.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:25
25 Now the children of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became a unit, and took their stand on top of a hill.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:26
26 Then Abner called to Joab and said, "Shall the sword devour forever? Do you not know that it will be bitter in the latter end? How long will it be then until you tell the people to return from pursuing their brethren?"

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:27
27 And Joab said, "As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then by morning all the people would have given up pursuing their brethren."

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:28
28 So Joab blew the trumpet, and all the men came to a halt; they no longer pursued Israel, nor did they fight anymore.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:29
29 All that night Abner and his men marched throu the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, continued through the whole Bithron and came to Mahanaim.

 

[tred]

2 Samuel 2:30
30 Then Joab returned from pursuing Aner and assembled all his men. Besides Asahel, nineteen of David's men were found missing.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:31
31 But the servants of David had struck down, of Benjamin and Abner's men, three hundred and sixty men who died.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 2:32
32 Then they took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.

 

[Vimi]

2 Samuel 3:1
1 Now there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David. But David grew stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.
