OET (OET-RV) But Asah-El wouldn’t give up so Abner thrust the butt end of his spear into his stomach and it went right through and came out his back. He fell to the ground and died there, and when the others caught up, they stopped there.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
תחתו
in,his_place
The author is using a common expression of his culture to mean that Asahel died right in the place where Abner killed him, that is, on the ground that was under him at that time. The author is not saying that Abner stood over Asahel as he was dying. Be sure that this is clear for your readers. Your language may have a comparable expression that you can use in your translation. Alternate translation: [on the spot]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
כָּל־הַבָּ֣א
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_refused to,turn_aside and,he,struck_him ʼAⱱnēr with,the_back_end(s)_of of,the_spear to/towards the,belly and,it_went_out the,spear from,behind,him and,he_fell there and=he/it_died in,his_place and=he/it_was all/each/any/every (the)_[one,who]_came to/near the,place which/who fallen there ˊAsāhʼēl and=he/it_died and,they_stood_still )
The author is making a generalization for emphasis, since the next verse shows that every did not include Joab and Abishai. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the emphasis in a different way. Alternate translation: [whenever soldiers came]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
אֲשֶׁר־נָ֨פַל שָׁ֧ם עֲשָׂהאֵ֛ל
(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_refused to,turn_aside and,he,struck_him ʼAⱱnēr with,the_back_end(s)_of of,the_spear to/towards the,belly and,it_went_out the,spear from,behind,him and,he_fell there and=he/it_died in,his_place and=he/it_was all/each/any/every (the)_[one,who]_came to/near the,place which/who fallen there ˊAsāhʼēl and=he/it_died and,they_stood_still )
It might seem that this expression contains extra information that would not be natural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: [where Asahel fell]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,he_refused to,turn_aside and,he,struck_him ʼAⱱnēr with,the_back_end(s)_of of,the_spear to/towards the,belly and,it_went_out the,spear from,behind,him and,he_fell there and=he/it_died in,his_place and=he/it_was all/each/any/every (the)_[one,who]_came to/near the,place which/who fallen there ˊAsāhʼēl and=he/it_died and,they_stood_still )
See the discussion in the Introduction to the chapter of why the soldiers who came to this place may have stood still there.
OET (OET-LV) And_he_refused to_turn_aside and_he_struck_him ʼAⱱnēr with_the_back_end(s)_of the_spear into the_belly and_it_went_out the_spear from_behind_him and_he_fell there and_he/it_died in_his_place[fn] and_he/it_was every_of (the)_one_who_came to the_place where he_fell there ˊAsāhʼēl and_he/it_died and_they_stood_still.
2:23 OSHB variant note: תחת/ו: (x-qere) ’תַּחְתָּ֑י/ו’: lemma_8478 n_1 morph_HR/Sp3ms id_10LY2 תַּחְתָּ֑י/ו
OET (OET-RV) But Asah-El wouldn’t give up so Abner thrust the butt end of his spear into his stomach and it went right through and came out his back. He fell to the ground and died there, and when the others caught up, they stopped there.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
