2 Samuel 2 📜 📕 ↷
18 And there were there the three sons of Sarvia, Joab, and Abisai, & Asael: moreover Asael was a most swift runner, as it were one of the roes, that abide in the woods.📜💬📚
19 And Asael pursued Abner, and declined not to the right hand nor to the left omitting to pursue Abner.📜💬📚
20 Abner therefore looked back behind him, and said: Art thou Asael? Who answered: I am.📜💬📚
21 And Abner said to him: Go to the right hand, or to the left, and apprehend one of the young men, and take to thee his spoils. But Asael would not leave but urged him.📜💬📚
22 And again Abner said to Asael: Retire, and do not follow me, lest I be compelled to stick thee to the ground, and I shall not be able to lift up my face to Joab thy brother.📜💬📚
23 Who contemned to hear, and would not go aside: Abner therefore struck him with his spear turned back in the privy parts, and thrust him through, and he died in the same place: and all that passed by that place, wherein Asael fell & died, did stay.📜💬📚
24 But whiles Joab and Abisai pursued Abner flying, the sun went down: & they came as far as the hill of the water conduit, that is over-against the valley the way of the desert in Gabaon.📜💬📚
