2 Samuel 2:20-22

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁰ Abner looked behind him and he asked, ‘Is that you, Asahel?’

‘Yes, it is,’ he answered.

²¹ Then Abner said to him, ‘Turn away from me to the right or to the left. Then you can chase one of the young soldiers and you can take his weapons.’ But Asahel would not stop chasing after Abner.

²² Abner said again to Asahel, ‘Stop chasing after me. I do not want to knock you down to the ground. If I kill you, I will never be able to show myself to your brother Joab again!’
