2 Samuel 2:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 2:19

And Asahel pursued after Abner
Ambitious of the glory of taking or slaying the general of the army of Israel; trusting to his swiftness, not considering that the race is not always to the swift, and that he had to do with a veteran soldier, and he a raw young man, though valiant:

and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left in
following Abner;
he kept his eye upon him, and pursued him closely, disregarding persons on the right or left he could have made prisoners; but those he neglected, being bent on taking Abner if possible.

2 Samuel 2:19 In-Context

17 Seguiu-se naquele dia uma crua peleja; e Abner e os homens de Israel foram derrotados diante dos servos de Davi.
18 Ora, estavam ali os três filhos de Zeruia: Joabe, Abisai, e Asael; e Asael era ligeiro de pés, como as gazelas do campo.
19 Perseguiu, pois, Asael a Abner, seguindo-o sem se desviar nem para a direita nem para a esquerda.
20 Nisso Abner, olhando para trás, perguntou: És tu Asael? Respondeu ele: Sou eu.
21 Ao que lhe disse Abner: Desvia-te para a direita, ou para a esquerda, e lança mão de um dos mancebos, e toma os seus despojos. Asael, porém , não quis desviar-se de seguí-lo.
