2 Samuel 2:20-22

20Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Is it you, Asahel?" And he answered, "It is I."

21Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and seize one of the young men and take his spoil." But Asahel would not turn aside from following him.

22And Abner said again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I lift up my face to your brother Joab?"
