2 Samuel 2:14-17
14Abner said to Joab, “Let’s have the young men hold a contest.” Joab agreed.
15The men got up and were counted as they passed by. Twelve were from the tribe of Benjamin (representing Saul’s son Ishbosheth), and twelve were from David’s officers.
16Each one grabbed his opponent by the head, stuck his sword into his opponent’s side, and they fell down together. Therefore, that place in Gibeon is called the Field of Enemies.
17Fierce fighting broke out that day, and David’s men defeated Abner and the men of Israel.
