2 Samuel 2:13And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.2 Samuel 2:14And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.2 Samuel 2:15Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which [pertained] to Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.2 Samuel 2:16And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon.2 Samuel 2:17And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.2 Samuel 2:18And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild roe.2 Samuel 2:19And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.2 Samuel 2:20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou Asahel? And he answered, I [am].2 Samuel 2:21And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.2 Samuel 2:22And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee aside from following me: wherefore should I smite thee to the ground? how then should I hold up my face to Joab thy brother?2 Samuel 2:23Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib], that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, [that] as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.2 Samuel 2:24Joab also and Abishai pursued after Abner: and the sun went down when they were come to the hill of Ammah, that [lieth] before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.2 Samuel 2:25And the children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner, and became one troop, and stood on the top of an hill.2 Samuel 2:26Then Abner called to Joab, and said, Shall the sword devour for ever? knowest thou not that it will be bitterness in the latter end? how long shall it be then, ere thou bid the people return from following their brethren?2 Samuel 2:27And Joab said, [As] God liveth, unless thou hadst spoken, surely then in the morning the people had gone up every one from following his brother.2 Samuel 2:28So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people stood still, and pursued after Israel no more, neither fought they any more.2 Samuel 2:29And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.2 Samuel 2:30And Joab returned from following Abner: and when he had gathered all the people together, there lacked of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.2 Samuel 2:31But the servants of David had smitten of Benjamin, and of Abner’s men, [so that] three hundred and threescore men died.2 Samuel 2:32And 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.2 Samuel 3:27And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him quietly, and smote him there under the fifth [rib], that he died, for the blood of Asahel his brother.2 Samuel 8:16And Joab the son of Zeruiah [was] over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud [was] recorder;2 Samuel 10:7And when David heard of [it], he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.2 Samuel 10:8And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, [were] by themselves in the field.2 Samuel 10:9When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice [men] of Israel, and put [them] in array against the Syrians:2 Samuel 10:10And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put [them] in array against the children of Ammon.2 Samuel 10:11And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.2 Samuel 10:12Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.2 Samuel 10:13And Joab drew nigh, and the people that [were] with him, unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.2 Samuel 10:14And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, then fled they also before Abishai, and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.2 Samuel 11:1And it came to pass, after the year was expired, at the time when kings go forth [to battle], that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.2 Samuel 11:15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.2 Samuel 11:16And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men [were].2 Samuel 11:17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell [some] of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also.2 Samuel 11:18Then Joab sent and told David all the things concerning the war;2 Samuel 11:19And charged the messenger, saying, When thou hast made an end of telling the matters of the war unto the king,2 Samuel 11:20And if so be that the king’s wrath arise, and he say unto thee, Wherefore approached ye so nigh unto the city when ye did fight? knew ye not that they would shoot from the wall?2 Samuel 11:21Who smote Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? did not a woman cast a piece of a millstone upon him from the wall, that he died in Thebez? why went ye nigh the wall? then say thou, Thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.2 Samuel 11:22So the messenger went, and came and shewed David all that Joab had sent him for.2 Samuel 11:23And the messenger said unto David, Surely the men prevailed against us, and came out unto us into the field, and we were upon them even unto the entering of the gate.2 Samuel 11:24And the shooters shot from off the wall upon thy servants; and [some] of the king’s servants be dead, and thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.2 Samuel 11:25Then David said unto the messenger, Thus shalt thou say unto Joab, Let not this thing displease thee, for the sword devoureth one as well as another: make thy battle more strong against the city, and overthrow it: and encourage thou him.2 Samuel 12:26And Joab fought against Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and took the royal city.2 Samuel 12:27And Joab sent messengers to David, and said, I have fought against Rabbah, and have taken the city of waters.2 Samuel 12:28Now therefore gather the rest of the people together, and encamp against the city, and take it: lest I take the city, and it be called after my name.2 Samuel 12:29And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it.2 Samuel 14:1Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king’s heart [was] toward Absalom.2 Samuel 14:2And Joab sent to Tekoah, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on now mourning apparel, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that had a long time mourned for the dead:2 Samuel 14:3And come to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.2 Samuel 14:4And when the woman of Tekoah spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.2 Samuel 14:5And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, I [am] indeed a widow woman, and mine husband is dead.2 Samuel 14:6And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and [there was] none to part them, but the one smote the other, and slew him.2 Samuel 14:7And, behold, the whole family is risen against thine handmaid, and they said, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of his brother whom he slew; and we will destroy the heir also: and so they shall quench my coal which is left, and shall not leave to my husband [neither] name nor remainder upon the earth.2 Samuel 14:8And the king said unto the woman, Go to thine house, and I will give charge concerning thee.2 Samuel 14:9And the woman of Tekoah said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity [be] on me, and on my father’s house: and the king and his throne [be] guiltless.2 Samuel 14:10And the king said, Whosoever saith [ought] unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.2 Samuel 14:11Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember the LORD thy God, that thou wouldest not suffer the revengers of blood to destroy any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, [As] the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.2 Samuel 14:12Then the woman said, Let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak [one] word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.2 Samuel 14:13And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou thought such a thing against the people of God? for the king doth speak this thing as one which is faulty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished.2 Samuel 14:14For we must needs die, and [are] as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God respect [any] person: yet doth he devise means, that his banished be not expelled from him.
