2 Samuel 2:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?”

“Yes, it’s me,” Asahel answered.

²¹ “Break off your pursuit!” Abner told him. “Fight one of the young warriors and take his gear for yourself!” But Asahel wouldn’t stop chasing him.

²² So Abner repeated himself to Asahel: “Stop chasing me. Why should I kill you? How could I look your brother Joab in the face?”
