2 Samuel 2:14-16

Living Bible

¹⁴ Then Abner suggested to Joab, “Let’s watch some sword play between our young men!”

Joab agreed, ¹⁵ so twelve men were chosen from each side to fight in mortal combat. ¹⁶ Each one grabbed his opponent by the hair and thrust his sword into the other’s side, so that all of them died. The place has been known ever since as Sword Field.
