2 Samuel 2:21

Listen to 2 Samuel 2:21
21 Entonces Abner le dijo: Ap谩rtate a la derecha o a la izquierda, y ag谩rrate alguno de los j贸venes, y toma para ti sus despojos. Pero Asael no quiso apartarse de en pos de 茅l.

2 Samuel 2:21 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 2:21

And Abner said unto him
Having a respect for him, and consulting his good, and however fearing his brother Joab should he slay him:

turn thee aside to thy right or to thy left;
he does not advise him to go back, which would have been to his disgrace, having engaged in the pursuit, but to turn to the right or left, as if pursuing some other person and not Abner:

and lay thee hold on one of the young men, and take thee his armour;
one of the common soldiers, or an attendant on Abner, a young man like himself, whom he might be able to cope with, and take him a prisoner and disarm him, when he was not a match for such an old experienced officer as he was; and this Abner seems to speak as a friend, consulting the young man's safety and his honour too.

But, Asahel would not turn aside from following him;
fired with the ambition of taking him, and not content with any prey short of him; and perhaps was the more animated by what he said, as supposing it arose from fear of him.

2 Samuel 2:21 In-Context

19 El cual Asael sigui贸 a Abner, yendo tras de 茅l sin apartarse a diestra ni a siniestra.
20 Y Abner mir贸 atr谩s, y dijo: 驴No eres t煤 Asael? Y 茅l respondi贸: S铆.
21 Entonces Abner le dijo: Ap谩rtate a la derecha o a la izquierda, y ag谩rrate alguno de los j贸venes, y toma para ti sus despojos. Pero Asael no quiso apartarse de en pos de 茅l.
22 Y Abner volvi贸 a decir a Asael: Ap谩rtate de en pos de m铆, porque te herir茅 derrib谩ndote en tierra, y despu茅s 驴c贸mo levantar茅 mi rostro a tu hermano Joab?
23 Y no queriendo 茅l irse, lo hiri贸 Abner con el regat贸n de la lanza por la quinta costilla , y le sali贸 la lanza por las espaldas, y cay贸 all铆, y muri贸 en aquel mismo sitio. Y todos los que ven铆an por aquel lugar donde Asael hab铆a ca铆do y estaba muerto, se paraban.
