However, they had killed three hundred and sixty of Abner's men from the tribe of Benjamin.
When Joab got back from chasing Abner, he gathered all the men together. Nineteen of David's men were missing in addition to Asahel.
They took Asahel's body and buried him in his father's tomb in Bethlehem. Then they marched all through the night and reached Hebron at dawn.

The king of Israel replied, “Tell him this: A man putting on his armor should not brag like one who is taking it off.”
