From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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 Sam. 2:18, 19). He is mentioned among David's thirty mighty


     men (2 Sam. 23:24; 1 Chr. 11:26). Others of the same name are
     mentioned (2 Chr. 17:8; 31:13; Ezra 10:15).
