2 Samuel 2:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² Ner’s son Abner and the servants of Saul’s son Ish-bosheth set out from Mahanaim for Gibeon. ¹³ Zeruiah’s son Joab and some of David’s staff went out to meet them at the pool of Gibeon. One side encamped on one side of the pool while the other encamped on the other side of the pool.

¹⁴ Abner told Joab, “Let’s have the young men get up and fight in our presence.”

Joab replied, “Let them come.”
