2 Samuel 2:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Each man grabbed his opponent by the head, plunged^[a] his sword into his opponent’s side, and then they both fell together. That’s why the place at Gibeon was named The Field of Swords.^{[b] 17} The battle was very violent that day, with Abner and the men of Israel being defeated in the presence of David’s servants.

¹⁸ Zeruiah’s three sons Joab, Abishai, and Asahel were there. As a runner, Asahel was fast, like one of the wild gazelles.
