2 Samuel 2:21 (King James Version)
And Abner said to him, Turn thee aside to thy right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour. But Asahel would not turn aside from following of him.
- and take thee
- It seems that Asahel wished to get the armour of Abner as a trophy.
- armour
- or, spoil.
