2 Samuel 2:12-16
12Now AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, wentH3318 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 outH3318 and metH6298 3them by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391; and they satH3427 downH3427, 4Abner’s men on the oneH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295 and 5Joab’s men on the otherH2088 sideH2088 of the poolH1295.
14Then AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, “NowH4994 have the youngH5288 menH5288 ariseH6965 and 6holdH7832 aH7832 martialH7832 skillsH7832 matchH7832 in our presenceH6440.” And JoabH3097 saidH559, “Have them ariseH6965!”
15So they gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH5674 overH5674 by countH4557, twelveH8147H6240 for BenjaminH1144 and Ish-boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH8147H6240 from the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.
16And eachH376 oneH376 of them seizedH2388 his 7opponentH7453 by the headH7218 and thrust his swordH2719 in his 8opponent’sH7453 sideH6654; so they fellH5307 downH5307 togetherH3164. Therefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 9Helkath-hazzurimH2521, whichH834 is in GibeonH1391.
