14. And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
15. And they arose and went over by number, twelve for Benjamin, and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
16. And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow's side, and they fell down together. And that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is by Gibeon.
17. And the battle that day was very severe; and Abner and the men of Israel were routed before the servants of David.
