2 Samuel 2:20-22

Good News Translation

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

“Yes,” he answered.

²¹ “Stop chasing me!” Abner said. “Run after one of the soldiers and take what he has.” But Asahel kept on chasing him. ²² Once more Abner said to him, “Stop chasing me! Why force me to kill you? How could I face your brother Joab?”
