2 Samuel 2:13-15

International Standard Version

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.”

¹⁵ So they got up and twelve were counted to represent Benjamin and Saul’s son Ish-bosheth and twelve to represent members of David’s staff.
