2 Samuel 2:19-21

New Catholic Bible

¹⁹ pursued Abner, turning neither to the left nor to the right as he followed him.

²⁰ Abner looked back and said: “Is that you, Asahel?” He replied: “Yes, it is.” ²¹ Abner then said to him: “Turn to your right or left, seize one of the young men, and take from him what is of value.” However, Asahel had no intention of forsaking his pursuit.
