2 Samuel 2:20-22

International Standard Version

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

He answered, “I am.”

²¹ Abner told him, “Go off to your right or left after one of the young men and grab some war spoils.” But Asahel would not stop following him, ²² so Abner told Asahel again, “Stop following me. Why should I strike you down? How could I show my face to your brother Joab?”
