2 Samuel 2:13-15
Contemporary English Version
13 Meanwhile, Joab the son of Zeruiah[a] was leading David's soldiers, and the two groups met at the pool in Gibeon.[b] Abner and his men sat down on one side of the pool, while Joab and his men sat on the other side. 14 Abner yelled to Joab, “Let's get some of our best soldiers to stand up and fight each other!”
Joab agreed, 15 and twelve of Ishbosheth's men from the tribe of Benjamin got up to fight twelve of David's men.
