2 Samuel 2:21 in Context — 2 Samuel 2
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?
23 Et Asaël refusa de se détourner. Sur quoi Abner le frappa au ventre avec l’extrémité inférieure de sa lance, et la lance sortit par derrière. Il tomba et mourut sur place. Tous ceux qui arrivaient au lieu où Asaël était tombé mort, s’y arrêtaient.
