18 Y estaban allí los tres hijos de Sarvia: Joab, y Abisai, y Asael. Este Asael era suelto de pies como un corzo del campo.

19 El cual Asael siguió á Abner, yendo tras de él sin apartarse á diestra ni á siniestra.

20 Y Abner miró atrás, y dijo: ¿No eres tú Asael? Y él respondió: Sí.

21 Entonces Abner le dijo: Apártate á la derecha ó á la izquierda, y agárrate alguno de los mancebos, y toma para ti sus despojos. Pero Asael no quiso apartarse de en pos de él.
