2 Samuel 2:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
In context
15 So they got up and were counted off—twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.
16 Then 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.
17 The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle,
19 and he chased Abner, not turning to the right or to the left in his pursuit.
