2 Samuel 2:8-17
8But AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, captainH8269 of Saul’sH7586 armyH6635, tookH3947 Ish–boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and brought him overH5674 to MahanaimH4266;12 9And made him kingH4427 over GileadH1568, and over the AshuritesH805, and over JezreelH3157, and over EphraimH669, and over BenjaminH1144, and over all IsraelH3478. 10Ish–boshethH378 Saul’sH7586 sonH1121 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he began to reignH4427 over IsraelH3478, and reignedH4427 twoH8147 yearsH8141. But the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 followedH310 DavidH1732. 11And the timeH3117H4557 that DavidH1732 was kingH4428 in HebronH2275 over the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 was sevenH7651 yearsH8141 and sixH8337 monthsH2320.3
12And AbnerH74 the sonH1121 of NerH5369, and the servantsH5650 of Ish–boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, went outH3318 from MahanaimH4266 to GibeonH1391. 13And JoabH3097 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870, and the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732, went outH3318, and metH6298 togetherH3162 by the poolH1295 of GibeonH1391: and they sat downH3427, the one on the one side of the poolH1295, and the other on the other side of the poolH1295.4 14And AbnerH74 saidH559 to JoabH3097, Let the young menH5288 now ariseH6965, and playH7832 beforeH6440 us. And JoabH3097 saidH559, Let them ariseH6965. 15Then there aroseH6965 and went overH5674 by numberH4557 twelveH6240H8147 of BenjaminH1144, which pertained to Ish–boshethH378 the sonH1121 of SaulH7586, and twelveH6240H8147 of the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732. 16And they caughtH2388 every oneH376 his fellowH7453 by the headH7218, and thrust his swordH2719 in his fellow’sH7453 sideH6654; so they fell downH5307 togetherH3162: wherefore that placeH4725 was calledH7121 Helkath–hazzurimH2521, which is in GibeonH1391.5 17And there was a veryH3966 soreH7186 battleH4421 that dayH3117; and AbnerH74 was beatenH5062, and the menH582 of IsraelH3478, beforeH6440 the servantsH5650 of DavidH1732.
