15 Então se levantaram, e em número de doze, passaram de Benjamim da parte de Is-Bosete filho de Saul; e doze dos servos de Davi.

16 E cada um lançou mão da cabeça de seu companheiro, e meteu-lhe sua espada pelo lado, caindo assim de uma vez; pelo que foi chamado aquele lugar, Helcate-Hazurim, o qual está em Gibeão.

17 E houve aquele dia uma batalha muito dura, e Abner e os homens de Israel foram vencidos pelos servos de Davi.
