2 Samuel 2:23

Namun, Asael tetap menolak untuk berhenti. Maka ketika Asael mendekati Abner dari belakang, Abner menusukkan pangkal tombaknya ke belakang mengenai perut Asael sehingga menembus punggungnya. Lalu jatuhlah Asael dan mati di tempat itu juga. Semua tentara Daud yang melihat Asael terbunuh berhenti mengejar musuh untuk menengok mayatnya.

Howbeit 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.
