| Asahel--This officer having been slain at the very beginning of David's reign [Sa2 2:23], his name was probably given to this division in honor of his memory, and his son was invested with the command. |

| Asahel the brother of Joab - This verse proves that the division and arrangement mentioned above were made before David was acknowledged king in Hebron; for Asahel, the brother of Joab, who was fourth captain, was slain by Abner, while Ishbosheth reigned over Israel at Mahanaim, Sa2 2:19-23. |
23 Howbeit he refused [03985] to turn aside [05493]: wherefore Abner [074] with the hinder end [0310] of the spear [02595] smote [05221] him under [0413] the fifth [02570] rib, that the spear [02595] came out [03318] behind [0310] him; and he fell down [05307] there, and died [04191] in the same place [08478]: and it came to pass, that as many as came [0935] to the place [04725] where Asahel [06214] fell down [05307] and died [04191] stood still [05975].
19 And Asahel [06214] pursued [07291] after [0310] Abner [074]; and in going [03212] he turned [05186] not to the right hand [03225] nor to the left [08040] from following [0310] Abner [074].
20 Then Abner [074] looked [06437] behind [0310] him, and said [0559], Art thou Asahel [06214]? And he answered [0559], I am.
21 And Abner [074] said [0559] to him, Turn thee aside [05186] to thy right hand [03225] or to thy left [08040], and lay thee hold [0270] on one [0259] of the young men [05288], and take [03947] thee his armour [02488]. But Asahel [06214] would [014] not turn aside [05493] from following [0310] of him.
22 And Abner [074] said [0559] again [03254] to Asahel [06214], Turn thee aside [05493] from following [0310] me: wherefore should I smite [05221] thee to the ground [0776]? how then should I hold up [05375] my face [06440] to Joab [03097] thy brother [0251]?
23 Howbeit he refused [03985] to turn aside [05493]: wherefore Abner [074] with the hinder end [0310] of the spear [02595] smote [05221] him under [0413] the fifth [02570] rib, that the spear [02595] came out [03318] behind [0310] him; and he fell down [05307] there, and died [04191] in the same place [08478]: and it came to pass, that as many as came [0935] to the place [04725] where Asahel [06214] fell down [05307] and died [04191] stood still [05975].
