- "And there¹ were¹ threeª sonsª of Zeruiahª there, Joab,ª and Abishai,ª and Asahel:ª and Asahelª [was as] lightª of footª as aª wildª¹ roe.ª" {2Sm 2:18} + "So Joabª and Abishaiª his brotherª slewª° Abner,ª because¹¹ he had slainª° their brotherª¹ Asahelª at Gibeonª in the battle.ª" {2Sm 3:30} + "And the restª of the peopleª he deliveredª° into the handª of Abishaiª his brother,ª that he might put [them] in arrayª° againstª° the childrenª of Ammon.ª" {2Sm 10:10} + "And when the childrenª of Ammonª sawª° that¹ the Syriansª were fled,ª° then fledª° they also beforeª¹ Abishai,ª and enteredª° into the city.ª So Joabª returnedª° from¹¹ the childrenª of Ammon,ª and cameª° to Jerusalem.ª" {2Sm 10:14} + "And Davidª sent forthª° a third partª of¹ the peopleª under the handª of Joab,ª and a third partª under the handª of Abishaiª the sonª of Zeruiah,ª Joab'sª brother,ª and a third partª under the handª of Ittaiª the Gittite.ª And the kingª saidª° unto¹ the people,ª I will surely²° go forthª° with¹ you myselfª also.¹" {2Sm 18:2} + "But Amasaª took no¹ heedª° to the swordª that¹ [was] in Joab'sª hand:ª so he smoteª° him therewith in¹ the fifthª [rib], and shed outª° his bowelsª to the ground,ª and struck¹ him not¹ again;²° and he died.ª° So Joabª and Abishaiª his brotherª pursuedª° afterª Shebaª the sonª of Bichri.ª" {2Sm 20:10} + "Then answeredª° Davidª and saidª° to¹ Ahimelechª the Hittite,ª and to¹ Abishaiª the sonª of Zeruiah,ª brotherª to Joab,ª saying,ª° Who¹ will go downª° with¹ me to¹ Saulª to¹ the camp?ª And Abishaiª said,ª° I¹ will go downª° with¹ thee. ... Then saidª° Abishaiª to¹ David,ª Godª hath deliveredª°¹ thine enemyª° into thine handª this day:ª now¹ therefore let me smiteª° him, I pray thee,¹ with the spearª even to the earthª at once,ªª and I will not¹ [smite] him the second time.ª°" {1Sm 26:6-8} + "Whose sistersª [were] Zeruiah,ª and Abigail.ª And the sonsª of Zeruiah;ª Abishai,ª and Joab,ª and Asahel,ª three.ª" {1Ch 2:16} + "And Abishaiª the brotherª of Joab,ª he¹ was¹ chiefª of the three:ª for lifting upª°¹ his spearª against¹ threeª hundred,ª he¹ slewª [them], and had a nameª among the three.ª ... Of¹ the three,ª he was more honourableª° than the two;ª for he was¹ their captain:ª howbeit he attainedª° not¹ to¹ the [first] three.ª" {1Ch 11:20-21}
