In context

19And Asahel followed after Abner, and turned not to go to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.

20And Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel himself? and he said, I am.

— 2 Samuel 2:21 —

22And Abner said yet again to Asahel, Stand aloof from me, lest I smite thee to the ground? and how should I lift up my face to Joab?

23And what does this mean? return to Joab thy brother. But he would not stand aloof; and Abner smites him with the hinder end of the spear on the loins, and the spear went out behind him, and he falls there and dies on the spot: and it came to pass that everyone that came to the place where Asahel fell and died, stood still.
