2 Samuel 2:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ So the young men stood up and were counted off. There were 12 on the side of Benjamin and Saul’s son Ish-Bosheth. And there were 12 on David’s side. ¹⁶ Each man grabbed one of his enemies by the head. Each one stuck his dagger into the other man’s side. And all of them fell down together and died. So that place in Gibeon was named Helkath Hazzurim.

¹⁷ The fighting that day was very heavy. Abner and the Israelites lost the battle to David’s men.
