2 Samuel 2:14-16
Common English Bible
14 Abner said to Joab, “Let’s have the young men fight in a contest[a] before us.”
“All right,” Joab said, “let’s do it.” 15 So the men came forward and were counted as they passed by: twelve for Benjamin and Ishbosheth, Saul’s son; and twelve of David’s soldiers. 16 Each man grabbed his opponent by the head and stuck[b] his sword into his opponent’s side so that they both fell dead together. That’s why that place is called The Field of Daggers,[c] which is located in Gibeon.
