12 One day Abner (my father is a lamp) son of Ner (lamp) and the servants of Ish-bosheth (man of shame) son of Saul (desired) marched out from Mahanaim (two camps) to Gibeon (hill city).

13 So Joab (YHWH is father) son of Zeruiah (balsam) and the servants of David (beloved) marched out and met them by the pool of Gibeon (hill city). And the two groups took up positions on opposite sides of the pool.

14 Then Abner (my father is a lamp) said to Joab (YHWH is father), “Let us have the young men get up and compete before us.” “Let them get up,” Joab replied.
