  1. 18The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
  2. 19Asahel pursued Abner; and in going he didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
  3. 20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, “Is that you, Asahel?”
    He answered, “It is.”
  4. 21Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
  5. 22Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
