2 Samuel 2:20-22

20Then Abner turned and asked, “Is that you, Asahel?” He replied, “Yes it is!”

21Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right or to your left. Capture one of the soldiers and take his equipment for yourself!” But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.

22So Abner spoke again to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me! I do not want to strike you to the ground. How then could I show my face in the presence of Joab your brother?”
