ASAHEL

ASAHEL made by God, the youngest son of Zeruiah, David’s sister. He was celebrated for his swiftness of foot. When fighting against Ish-bosheth at Gibeon, in the army of his brother Joab, he was put to death by Abner, whom he pursued from the field of battle (2 Samuel 2=>18, 19). He is mentioned among David’s thirty mighty men (2 Samuel 23=>24; 1 Chronicles 11=>26). Others of the same name are mentioned (2 Chronicles 17=>8; 31=>13; Ezra 10=>15).
