2 Samuel 2:20

2Sa 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, [Art] thou Asahel? And he answered, I [am].

Ver. 20. Art thou Asahel? ] Abner had no mind to meddle with any son of Zeruiah, David’s sister: he therefore first turneth querist to this currist, - Luther’s words, - and then twice adviseth him to retreat from pursuing his own peril. But quisque suos patitur manes.
