*
Now Abner the son of Ner ,
and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul ,
went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon .
*
And Joab the son of Zeruiah ,
and the servants of David ,
went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon .
So they sat down ,
one on one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool .
*
Then Abner said to Joab , "
Let the young men now arise and compete before us ."
And Joab said , "
Let them arise ."
*
So they arose and went over by number ,
twelve from Benjamin ,
followers of Ishbosheth the son of Saul ,
and twelve from the servants of David .
*
And each one 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 the Field of Sharp Swords ,
which is in Gibeon .
*
So there was a very fierce battle that day ,
and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David .
