2 Samuel 11:15

11:15 In the letter he wrote: “Station Uriah in the thick of the battle and then withdraw from him so he will be cut down and killed.”

2 Samuel 2:21

2:21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left. Capture one of the soldiers ¹  and take his equipment for yourself!” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.

2 Samuel 2:23

2:23 But Asahel ²  refused to turn aside. So Abner struck him in the abdomen with the back end of his ³  spear. The spear came out his back; Asahel ⁴  collapsed on the spot and died there right before Abner. ⁵  Everyone who now comes to the place where Asahel fell dead pauses in respect. ⁶
