2 Samuel 2:12-17
12Now AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, wentH3318 out from MahanaimH4266 to 1GibeonH1391 with the servantsH5650 of Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586. 13And 2JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732 wentH3318 out and metH6298 3them by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391; and they satH3427 downH3427, 4oneH428 on the oneH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295 and 5the otherH2088 on the otherH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295. 14Then AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “NowH4994 let the youngH5288 menH5288 ariseH6965 and 67holdH7832 a contestH7832 beforeH6440 us.” And JoabH3097 saidH559, “Let them ariseH6965.” 15So they aroseH6965 and wentH5674 overH5674 by countH4557, twelveH8147H6240 for BenjaminH1144 and Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH8147H6240 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. 16EachH376 oneH376 of them seizedH2388 his 8opponentH7453 by the headH7218 and thrust his swordH2719 in his 9opponent’sH7453 sideH6654; so they fellH5307 downH5307 togetherH3164. Therefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 10Helkath-hazzurimH2521, whichH834 is in GibeonH1391. 17That dayH3117 the battleH4421 was veryH3966 severeH7186, and 11AbnerH74 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were beatenH5062 beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.
