2 Samuel 2:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ So twelve men, representing Ishbosheth and the tribe of Benjamin, fought twelve of David's men. ¹⁶ Each man caught his opponent by the head and plunged his sword into his opponent's side, so that all twenty-four of them fell down dead together. And so that place in Gibeon is called “Field of Swords.”

¹⁷ Then a furious battle broke out, and Abner and the Israelites were defeated by David's men.
