12 Abner, fils de Ner, et les gens d’Isch-Boscheth, fils de Saül, sortirent de Mahanaïm pour marcher sur Gabaon.

13 Joab, fils de Tseruja, et les gens de David, se mirent aussi en marche. Ils se rencontrèrent près de l’étang de Gabaon, et ils s’arrêtèrent les uns en deçà de l’étang, et les autres au-delà.

14 Abner dit à Joab: Que ces jeunes gens se lèvent, et qu’ils se battent devant nous! Joab répondit: Qu’ils se lèvent!

15 Ils se levèrent et s’avancèrent en nombre égal, douze pour Benjamin et pour Isch-Boscheth, fils de Saül, et douze des gens de David.

16 Chacun saisissant son adversaire par la tête lui enfonça son épée dans le flanc, et ils tombèrent tous ensemble. Et l’on donna à ce lieu, qui est près de Gabaon, le nom de Helkath-Hatsurim.
