Old Testament2 SamuelDavid’s Victory over Ish-bosheth · 2:12–172:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.2:13 And Joab the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out, and met together by the pool of Gibeon: and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool, and the other on the other side of the pool.2:14 And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.2:15 Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.2:16 And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.2:17 And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
