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.
But he didn't want to move away. So, Abner hit him with his spear in his lower right side, causing the spear to come out on the other side. He fell down and died there. When others arrived at where Asahel died, they all stopped and stood still.
