וַיֹּ֧אמֶר ל֣וֹ אַבְנֵ֗ר נְטֵ֤ה לְךָ֙ עַל־יְמִֽינְךָ֙ א֣וֹ עַל־שְׂמֹאלֶ֔ךָ וֶאֱחֹ֣ז לְךָ֗ אֶחָד֙ מֵֽהַנְּעָרִ֔ים וְקַח־לְךָ֖ אֶת־חֲלִצָת֑וֹ וְלֹֽא־אָבָ֣ה עֲשָׂהאֵ֔ל לָס֖וּר מֵאַחֲרָֽיו׃
Kata Abner kepadanya: “Menyimpanglah ke kanan atau ke kiri, tangkaplah salah seorang dari orang-orang muda itu, lalu ambillah perlengkapan perangnya.” Tetapi Asael tidak mau menyimpang dan terus mengejarnya.
Rashi
He has withdrawn Heb. חָלַץ, slipped away. Comp. (II Sam. 2:21) “and take to yourself his clothing (חֲלִצָתוֹ),” the clothing that you will slip off them.
Ibn Ezra
מחלצות Changeable suits of garments, worn over the dress; comp. חלצתו his armour (2 Sam. 2:21), which is worn over the garments.20The Hebrew text has אלה בגדים, which is evidently a mistake, and is to be altered to על הבגדים.
