2 Samuel 2:14-17 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁴Then Abner said to Joab, “Let us have the young men get up and compete before us.” “Let them get up,” Joab replied.

¹⁵So they got up and were counted off— twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.

¹⁶Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.

¹⁷The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
