2 Samuel 2:12-14

International Children’s Bible

¹² Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-Bosheth son of Saul left Mahanaim. They went to Gibeon. ¹³ Joab son of Zeruiah and David’s men also went there. They met Abner and Ish-Bosheth’s men at the pool of Gibeon. Abner’s group sat on one side of the pool. Joab’s group sat on the other side.

¹⁴ Abner said to Joab, “Let’s have the young men get up and have a contest here.”

Joab said, “Yes, let them have a contest.”
