2 Samuel 2:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And Abner looked behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? And he answered: I am.

²¹ And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand or to the left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave off following him close.

²² And again Abner said to Asael: Go off, and do not follow me, lest I be obliged to stab thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to hold up my face to Joab thy brother.
