And they were there three [the] sons of Zeruiah Joab and Abishai and Asahel and Asahel [was] swift on feet his like one of the gazelles which [are] in the open country.
19 Ọ chụwara Abna ọsọ, ọ dịghị mgbe ọ tụgharịrị gaa nʼaka nri maọbụ nʼaka ekpe mgbe ọ nọ na-achụ ya ọsọ.
And he pursued Asahel after Abner and not he turned aside to go to the right and to the left from after Abner.
20 Mgbe Abna lere anya nʼazụ hụ ya ka ọ na-abịa, ọ kpọrọ ya oku sị ya, “Ọ bụ gị Asahel?” Asahel zara sị, “Ọ bụ m.”
And he turned Abner behind him and he said ¿ you [is] this O Asahel and he said I.

And he called out Abner to Joab and he said ¿ to perpetuity will it devour [the] sword ¿ not do you know? that bitter it will be at the last and until when? not will you say to the people to turn back from after brothers their.
27 Joab zara sị, “Eji m aha Chineke ṅụọ iyi na-asị na ọ bụrụ na i gbara nkịtị, ndị a gaara achụso ụmụnna ha ọsọ na-akwụsịghị ruo nʼụtụtụ echi.”
And he said Joab [by] [the] life of God if if not you had spoken for then from the morning it had abandoned pursuit the people each from after brother his.
28 Mgbe ahụ, Joab fụrụ opi ike ya. Nke a mere ka ndị ya kwụsị ịchụ ndị Izrel. Ha kwụsịkwara ibu agha.
And he gave a blast Joab on the trumpet and they stood all the people and not they pursued again after Israel and not they repeated again to wage war.
