2 Samuel 2:16-18
English Standard Version
16 And each caught 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,[a] which is at Gibeon. 17 And the battle was very fierce that day. And Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.
18 And the (A)three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was (B)as swift of foot as a wild gazelle.
