# turn aside

This means to "halt" or "stop chasing."

# the blunt end of his spear

This refers to the handle, which is not sharp or designed to pierce anything. It can be implied that Abner was only trying to stop Asahel from following him, and did not intend to kill him. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
