押 尼 珥 回 头 说 : 你 是 亚 撒 黑 麽 ? 回 答 说 : 是 。

Contextual Overview

18 Zeruiah's three sons, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, were there. Now Asahel was a fast runner, as fast as a deer in the field. 19 Asahel chased Abner, going straight toward him. 20 Abner looked back and asked, "Is that you, Asahel?" Asahel said, "Yes, it is." 21 Then Abner said to Asahel, "Turn to your right or left and catch one of the young men and take his armor." But Asahel refused to stop chasing him. 22 Abner again said to Asahel, "Stop chasing me! If you don't stop, I'll have to kill you! Then I won't be able to face your brother Joab again!" 23 But Asahel refused to stop chasing Abner. So using the back end of his spear, Abner stabbed Asahel in the stomach, and the spear came out of his back. Asahel died right there, and everyone stopped when they came to the place where Asahel's body lay. 24 But Joab and Abishai continued chasing Abner. As the sun was going down, they arrived at the hill of Ammah, near Giah on the way to the desert near Gibeon.

Then the Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is right for him."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
