  23 Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the afifth 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 bAsahel fell down and died stood still.
