1After this David consulted Yahweh, asking, 'Shal I go up to one of the towns of Judah?' Yahwehreplied, 'Go up!' 'Which one shal I go to?' David asked. 'To Hebron,' was the reply.2So David went up, with his two wives Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail widow of Nabal of Carmel.3In addition David brought up the men who were with him, each with his family, and they settled in thetowns of Hebron.4The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David as king of the House of Judah. They told Davidthat the people of Jabesh in Gilead had given Saul burial,5so David sent messengers to the people of Jabesh in Gilead. 'May you be blessed by Yahweh,' he said,'for showing this faithful love to Saul your lord, and for burying him.6And now may Yahweh show faithful love and constancy towards you! I too shall treat you wel becauseyou have done this.7And now take courage and be men of valour. Saul your lord is dead, but the House of Judah hasanointed me to be their king.'8Abner son of Ner, Saul's army commander, had taken Ishbaal son of Saul and brought him over toMahanaim.9He had made him king of Gilead, of the Asherites, of Jezreel, of Ephraim, of Benjamin and indeed of allIsrael.10Ishbaal son of Saul was forty years old when he became king of Israel, and he reigned for two years.Only the House of Judah supported David.11The length of David's reign over Judah in Hebron was seven years and six months.12Abner son of Ner, with the retainers of Ishbaal son of Saul, marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.13Joab son of Zeruiah, with David's retainers, also took the field, encountering them at the pool ofGibeon. There they halted, one party on one side of the pool, and the other opposite.14Abner then said to Joab, 'Let the men come forward and fight it out between us!' Joab replied, 'Letthem come forward.'15So they came forward and were numbered off, twelve from Benjamin for Ishbaal son of Saul, andtwelve of David's retainers.16Each caught his opponent by the head and drove his sword into his side; and thus they al felltogether. Hence the place was cal ed the Field of Sides; it is at Gibeon.17That day a very fierce battle took place, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten by David'sretainers.18The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel could run like a wildgazel e.19Asahel chased Abner, not swerving to the right or left from pursuing him.20Abner turned and said, 'Asahel, is that you?' He replied, 'It is.'21Abner said, 'Turn to your right or your left, catch one of the men and take his spoil!' But Asahel wouldnot break off the pursuit.22Again Abner spoke to Asahel, 'Stop following me, unless you want me to strike you to the ground; andthen how could I look your brother Joab in the face?'23But he refused to be diverted, so Abner struck him in the belly with the butt of his spear so that theshaft came out through his back; and he fell at his feet and died on the spot. On coming to the place whereAsahel had fal en and died, everyone halted.24Joab and Abishai took up the pursuit of Abner and at sunset reached the Hil of Ammah, which is tothe east of Giah on the road through the desert of Gibeon.25The Benjaminites gathered in close formation behind Abner and halted on the top of a hil .26Abner cal ed out to Joab, 'Is the sword to go on devouring for ever? Surely you see that this can onlyend in bitterness? How long wil it be before you order those people to stop pursuing their brothers?'27Joab replied, 'As Yahweh lives, if you had not spoken, these men would not have given up the pursuitof their brothers until morning.'28Joab then sounded the trumpet and all the troops halted; they pursued Israel no further and fought nomore.29Al that night Abner and his men made their way through the Arabah; they crossed the Jordan and,marching throughout the morning, came to Mahanaim.30Joab, having stopped pursuing Abner, mustered the whole contingent; David's retainers had lostnineteen men in addition to Asahel,31but had killed three hundred and sixty of Benjamin, Abner's men.32They took up Asahel and buried him in his father's tomb, which is at Bethlehem. Joab and his menthen marched throughout the night, reaching Hebron at daybreak.
