2 Samuel 2:20-22

New International Version - UK

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

‘It is,’ he answered.

²¹ Then Abner said to him, ‘Turn aside to the right or to the left; take on one of the young men and strip him of his weapons.’ But Asahel would not stop chasing him.

²² Again Abner warned Asahel, ‘Stop chasing me! Why should I strike you down? How could I look your brother Joab in the face?’
