Howbeit he refused to turn aside: wherefore Abner with the hinder end of the spear smote him under the fifth [rib], that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there, and died in the same place: and it came to pass, [that] as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.

Under the fifth rib. This expression (see ch. 3:27; 4:6; 20:10) simply means “abdomen,” and should be so translated.
