2 Samuel 2:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Abner suggested to Joab, “Let the young men come forward and compete before us.”

And Joab replied, “Let them come.”

¹⁵ So they stepped forward and were counted, twelve from Benjamin and Ish-Bosheth and twelve from the servants of David. ¹⁶ Each one grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Helkath Hazzurim, which is at Gibeon.
