14Then AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “NowH4994 let the youngH5288 menH5288 ariseH6965 and 12holdH7832 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 3opponentH7453 by the headH7218 and thrust his swordH2719 in his 4opponent’sH7453 sideH6654; so they fellH5307 downH5307 togetherH3164. Therefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 5Helkath-hazzurimH2521, whichH834 is in GibeonH1391. 17That dayH3117 the battleH4421 was veryH3966 severeH7186, and 6AbnerH74 and the menH376 of IsraelH3478 were beatenH5062 beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.
