20: And [G2532] Abner looked [G1914] to [G1519] the [G3588] his rear [G3694][G1473], and [G2532] said [G2036], Are you [G1473] Asahel himself [G1473][G1473]? And [G2532] he said [G2036], I [G1473] am .
21: And [G2532] said [G2036] to him [G1473] Abner], Turn aside [G1578][G1473] to [G1519] the [G3588] right [G1188] or [G2228] to [G1519] the [G3588] left , and [G2532] constrain [G2722] to yourself [G4572] one [G1520] of the [G3588] servant-lads [G3808], and [G2532] take [G2983] to yourself [G4572] the [G3588] his full armor [G3833][G1473]! And [G2532] did not [G3756] want [G2309] Asahel] to turn aside [G1578] from [G1537] the [G3588] [being] behind [G3693] him [G1473].

For [G2532] how [G4459] will I lift the [G3588] my face [G4383][G1473] to [G4314] Joab the [G3588] your brother [G1473]?
23: And [G2532] he was not willing [G3756][G1014] the [G3588] to leave . And [G2532] struck [G5180] him [G1473] Abner] with [G1722] the [G3588] rear [G3694] of the [G3588] spear upon [G1909] [his the [G3588] flank . And [G2532] went completely through the [G3588] spear out [G1537] the [G3588] behind [G3694] him [G1473]. And [G2532] he falls [G4098] there [G1563] and [G2532] dies underneath [G5270] him [G1473]. And [G2532] it came to pass [G1096] every one [G3956] the [G3588] coming [G2064] unto [G2193] the [G3588] place [G5117] where [G3739] fell [G4098] there [G1563] Asahel] and [G2532] died , even [G2532] stood [still .
24: And [G2532] pursued [G2614] Joab and [G2532] Abishai] after [G3694] Abner, and [G2532] the [G3588] sun [G2246] went down [G1416]. And [G2532] they [G1473] entered [G1525] unto [G2193] the [G3588] hill [G1015] of Ammah, according to [G2596] face [G4383] of Giah, way [G3598] wilderness [G2048] of Gibeon.

26: And [G2532] Abner called [G2564] the [G3588] Joab, and [G2532] he said [G2036], will [G3361] in [G1519] victory [G3534] devour [G2719] the [G3588] broadsword [G4501], or [G2228] do you not [G3756] know [G1492] that [G3754] it will be bitter [G4089] at [G1519] the [G3588] last [G2078]? And [G2532] for how long [G2193][G4219] in no way will you] speak [G2036] to the [G3588] people [G2992] to return from [following] after [G3693] the [G3588]ir brothers [G1473]?
27: And [G2532] Joab said [G2036], As BOSS lives [G2198][G2962], that [G3754] if you had not [G1508] spoken [G2980], because [G1360] then [G5119] from [G1537] the morning went up even the [G3588] people [G2992] each [G1538] after the [G3588] his brother .
