2 Samuel 2:20-22

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ Then Abner looked behind him and said, Are you Asahel? He answered, I am.

²¹ Abner said to him, Turn aside to your right or left, and seize one of the young men and take his armor. But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

²² And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then should I be able to face Joab your brother?
