2 Samuel 2:20 in Context — 2 Samuel 2
18 Là se trouvaient les trois fils de Tseruja: Joab, Abischaï et Asaël. Asaël avait les pieds légers comme une gazelle des champs:
19 il poursuivit Abner, sans se détourner de lui pour aller à droite ou à gauche.
20 Abner regarda derrière lui, et dit: Est-ce toi, Asaël? Et il répondit: C’est moi.
21 Abner lui dit: Tire à droite ou à gauche; saisis-toi de l’un de ces jeunes gens, et prends sa dépouille. Mais Asaël ne voulut point se détourner de lui.
22 Abner dit encore à Asaël: Détourne-toi de moi; pourquoi te frapperais-je et t’abattrais-je en terre? Comment ensuite lèverais-je le visage devant ton frère Joab?
