However, the name may be transliterated or referenced in Greek texts discussing Old Testament figures. Usage: Asahel is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is primarily associated with a notable individual in the narrative of King David's reign. Context: Asahel is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, known for his role as one of King David's mighty warriors. He is the son of Zeruiah, David's sister, making him David's nephew. Asahel is described as being swift-footed, "as fleet of foot as a wild gazelle" (2 Samuel 2:18, BSB). His most notable biblical account involves his pursuit of Abner, the commander of Saul's army, during the battle at Gibeon. Despite Abner's warnings, Asahel's relentless pursuit leads to his death at the hands of Abner, who strikes him with the butt of his spear (2 Samuel 2:19-23, BSB). Asahel's death becomes a catalyst for further conflict between the forces of David and those loyal to Saul. He is later avenged by his brothers Joab and Abishai, who kill Abner (2 Samuel 3:27, BSB). Asahel is also listed among David's thirty mighty men, highlighting his valor and significance in David's military exploits (2 Samuel 23:24, BSB; 1 Chronicles 11:26, BSB).
