21 Entonces Abner le dijo: Apártate á la derecha ó á la izquierda, y agárrate alguno de los mancebos, y toma para ti sus despojos. Pero Asael no quiso apartarse de en pos de él.
22 Y Abner tornó á decir á Asael: Apártate de en pos de mí, porque te heriré [derribándote] en tierra, y [después] ¿cómo levantaré mi rostro á tu hermano Joab?
23 Y no queriendo él irse, hiriólo Abner con el regatón de la lanza por la quinta [costilla], y salióle la lanza por las espaldas, y cayó allí, y murió en aquel mismo sitio. Y todos los que venían por aquel lugar donde Asael había caído y estaba muerto, se paraban.
24 Mas Joab y Abisai siguieron á Abner; y púsoseles el sol cuando llegaron al collado de Amma, que está delante de Gía, junto al camino del desierto de Gabaón.
25 Y juntáronse los hijos de Benjamín en un escuadrón con Abner, y paráronse en la cumbre del collado.
