2 Samuel 2:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ So they got up and twelve were counted to represent Benjamin and Saul’s son Ish-bosheth and twelve to represent members of David’s staff. ¹⁶ Each man grabbed his opponent by the head, plunged^[a] his sword into his opponent’s side, and then they both fell together. That’s why the place at Gibeon was named The Field of Swords.^{[b] 17} The battle was very violent that day, with Abner and the men of Israel being defeated in the presence of David’s servants.
