ASAHEL, Son of Zeniah, and Brother to Joab, was killed by Abner in the battle of Gibeon, while he persisted obstinately in the pursuit of this General. To revenge his death, Joab his Brother some years after treacherously killed Abner, who was come to wait on David at Hebron, in order to procure him to be acknowledged by all Israel.
