2 Samuel 2:20-22

The Message

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

“It surely is,” he said.

²¹ Abner said, “Let up on me. Pick on someone you have a chance of beating and be content with those spoils!” But Asahel wouldn’t let up.

²² Abner tried again, “Turn back. Don’t force me to kill you. How would I face your brother Joab?”
