2 Samuel 2:20-22

Easy-to-Read Version

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

Asahel said, “Yes, it’s me.”

²¹ Abner didn’t want to hurt Asahel, so he said to Asahel, “Stop chasing me—go after one of the young soldiers. You could easily take his armor for yourself.” But Asahel refused to stop chasing Abner.

²² Abner again said to Asahel, “Stop chasing me, or I will have to kill you. Then I will not be able to look your brother Joab in the face again.”
