When Aviner was returned to Chevron, Yo'av took him aside into the midst of the gate to speak with him quietly, and struck him there in the body, so that he died, for the blood of `Asa'el his brother.
While he was still speaking, behold, Yehudah, one of the Twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief Kohen and elders of the people.
