← 2 Samuel 2:16	2 Samuel 2:17 (KJV)	2 Samuel 2:18 →
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and [thrust] his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which [is] in Gibeon.	And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.	And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel [was as] light of foot as a wild roe.
