📖 Read 2 Samuel 2
◀ 2Sa 2:162Sa 2:18 ▶

The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.

Context

14Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and play before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
15Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
16They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
17The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
18The three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
19Asahel pursued Abner); and in going he didn’t turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
20Then Abner looked behind him, and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
