2 Samuel 2:21-22
2:21 Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left. Capture one of the soldiers 1 and take his equipment for yourself!” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.
2:22 So Abner spoke again to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me! I do not want to strike you to the ground. 2 How then could I show 3 my face in the presence of Joab your brother?”
1 tn Heb “young men.” So also elsewhere.
2 tn Heb “Why should I strike you to the ground?”
