And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the children of David, went out, and they came to them beside the cistern of Gibeon. And when they had come together into one place even against either other, these sat on one part of the cistern, and they on the tother.
Forsooth three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel; and Asahel was a full swift runner, as one of the caprets that dwell in woods.
Also the third battle was in Gob against [the] Philistines; in which battle a man given of God, the son of a forest, and an embroiderer, a man of Bethlehem, smote the brother of Goliath of Gath, whose spear shaft was as a beam of webs or a weaver.
In the fourth month, the fourth prince was Asahel, the brother of Joab, and Zebadiah, his son, after him, and four and twenty thousand were in his company.
