And David spake and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out. And they met together by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, these on the one side of the pool, and those on the other side of the pool.

וְיוֹאָ֨ב (יוֹאָ֨ב) yo.'Av “Joab”

And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

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.

יוֹאָ֥ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: why should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?

יוֹאָ֖ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab and Abishai pursued after Abner; and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.

יוֹאָ֥ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? and how long shall it be ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?

יוֹאָ֗ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab said, [ergänzt: As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab blew the trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither did they fight any more.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab returned from following Abner, and gathered all the people together; and there lacked of David's servants nineteen men, and Asahel.

וְיוֹאָ֗ב (יוֹאָ֗ב) yo.'Av “Joab”

And they took up Asahel, and buried him in the sepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at break of day.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from an expedition, and brought in a great spoil with them; but Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

וְיוֹאָב֙ (יוֹאָב֙) yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab and all the host that was with him came; and they told Joab, saying, Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away; and he is gone in peace.

וְיוֹאָ֛ב (יוֹאָ֛ב) yo.'Av “Joab”לְיוֹאָב֙ (יוֹאָב֙) yo.'Av “Joab”

Then Joab came to the king, and said, What hast thou done? behold, Abner came to thee; why is it [ergänzt: that] thou hast sent him away, and he is gone?

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And when Joab was come out from David, he sent messengers after Abner, who brought him again from the well of Sirah; but David did not know it.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him secretly, and smote him there in the belly, that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.

יוֹאָב֙ yo.'Av “Joab”

let it fall on the head of Joab, and on all his father's house; and let there not fail from the house of Joab one that has an issue, or that is a leper, or that leans on a staff, or that falls by the sword, or that lacks bread!

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”יוֹאָ֡ב yo.'Av “Joab”

So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

וְיוֹאָב֙ (יוֹאָב֙) yo.'Av “Joab”

And David said to Joab, and to all the people that were with him, Rend your garments, and gird yourselves with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David followed the bier.

יוֹאָ֜ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was chronicler;

וְיוֹאָ֥ב (יוֹאָ֥ב) yo.'Av “Joab”

And David heard [ergänzt: of it], and he sent Joab, and all the host, the mighty men.

יוֹאָ֔ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind; and he chose out of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians;

יוֹאָ֗ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And Joab drew near, and the people that were with him, unto the battle against the Syrians; and they fled before him.

יוֹאָ֗ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians fled, they fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. And Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.

יוֹאָ֗ב yo.'Av “Joab”

And it came to pass, at the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they laid waste the [ergänzt: land of the] children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem.
