2 Samuel 2:16-18

International Children’s Bible

¹⁶ Each man grabbed his enemy’s head. Then he stabbed his enemy’s side with a knife. And the men fell down together. So that place in Gibeon is called The Field of the Sharp Knives. ¹⁷ That day the contest became a terrible battle. And David’s men defeated Abner and the Israelites.

Abner Kills Asahel

¹⁸ Zeruiah’s three sons, Joab, Abishai and Asahel, were there. Now Asahel was a fast runner. He was as fast as a deer in the field.
