What does it mean for Asahel to be as swift of foot as a wild gazelle?
2 Samuel 2:18 (ESV)
18And the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was as swift of foot as a wild gazelle.
Jonathan is previously also described as being a gazelle (2 Samuel 1:19, 2 Samuel 1:25). In this case, when it comes to Asahel, the emphasis is on his speed. He was agile and fast.
