וַתְּהִי הַמִּלְחָמָה קָשָׁה עַד־מְאֹד בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא וַיִּנָּגֶף אַבְנֵר וְאַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל לִפְנֵי עַבְדֵי דָוִֽד
And the battle was very sore that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
וַיִּֽהְיוּ־שָׁם שְׁלֹשָׁה בְּנֵי צְרוּיָה יוֹאָב וַאֲבִישַׁי וַעֲשָׂהאֵל וַעֲשָׂהאֵל קַל בְּרַגְלָיו כְּאַחַד הַצְּבָיִם אֲשֶׁר בַּשָּׂדֶֽה
And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel; and Asahel was as light of foot as one of the roes that are in the field.
וַיִּרְדֹּף עֲשָׂהאֵל אַחֲרֵי אַבְנֵר וְלֹֽא־נָטָה לָלֶכֶת עַל־הַיָּמִין וְעַֽל־הַשְּׂמֹאול מֵאַחֲרֵי אַבְנֵֽר
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
וַיִּפֶן אַבְנֵר אַֽחֲרָיו וַיֹּאמֶר הַאַתָּה זֶה עֲשָׂהאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אָנֹֽכִי
Then Abner looked behind him, and said: ‘Is it thou, Asahel?’ And he answered: ‘It is I.’
וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ אַבְנֵר נְטֵה לְךָ עַל־יְמִֽינְךָ אוֹ עַל־שְׂמֹאלֶךָ וֶאֱחֹז לְךָ אֶחָד מֵֽהַנְּעָרִים וְקַח־לְךָ אֶת־חֲלִצָתוֹ וְלֹֽא־אָבָה עֲשָׂהאֵל לָסוּר מֵאַחֲרָֽיו
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 him.
