2 Samuel 2:20 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 2:20

Then Abner looked behind him
Perceiving one at his heels, and making haste up to him.

And said, [art] thou Asahel?
for it seems he knew him personally, being well acquainted with his family:

and he answered, I [am];
so that they were very near to each other, as to discourse together, and be heard and understood by each other.

2 Samuel 2:20 In-Context

18 Es waren aber drei Söhne der Zeruja daselbst: Joab, Abisai und Asahel. Asahel aber war von leichten Füßen wie ein Reh auf den Felde
19 und jagte Abner nach und wich nicht weder zur Rechten noch zur Linken von Abner.
20 Da wandte sich Abner um und sprach: Bist du Asahel? Er sprach: Ja.
21 Abner sprach zu ihm: Hebe dich entweder zur Rechten oder zur Linken und nimm für dich der Leute einen und nimm ihm sein Waffen. Aber Asahel wollte nicht von ihm ablassen.
22 Da sprach Abner weiter zu Asahel: Hebe dich von mir! Warum willst du, daß ich dich zu Boden schlage? Und wie dürfte ich mein Antlitz aufheben vor deinem Bruder Joab?
