2 Samuel 2:12-17

NSB(i) 12 One time Abner and the soldiers of Ishbosheth left Mahanaim and went to Gibeon. 13 At that time Joab the son of Zeruiah was leading David’s soldiers. The two groups met at the pool in Gibeon. Abner and his men sat down on one side of the pool and Joab and his men sat on the other side. 14 Abner yelled to Joab: »Let some of our best soldiers get up and fight each other!« Joab agreed. 15 Twelve of Ishbosheth’s men from the tribe of Benjamin got up to fight twelve of David’s men. 16 Each one grabbed his opponent by the head. Then he stuck his sword into his opponent’s side, and they fell down together. That place in Gibeon is called the Field of Enemies. 17 Fierce fighting broke out that day. In the end, David’s men defeated Abner and the men of Israel.
