2 Samuel 2:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁵ So they came forward and were counted as they passed by, twelve for Benjamin and Ishbaal^[a] son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David. ¹⁶ Each grasped 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,^[b] which is at Gibeon. ¹⁷ The battle was very fierce that day; and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten by the servants of David.
