8 And Abner, son of Ner, the chief of the army which was to Saul, took a man of shame, son a Saul, and he will cause him to pass over to Mahanaim; 9 And he will make him king to Gilead, and to the Ashurite and to Jezreel, and over Ephraim and over Benjamin and over all Israel. 10 The son of forty years, the man of shame, son of Saul, in his reigning over Israel; and two years he reigned: but the house of Judah was after David. 11 And the number of days which David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah, will be seven years and six months. 12 And Abner son of Ner, will go forth and the servants of the man of shame, son of Saul, from the two camps to the hill. 13 And Joab son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, will go forth and meet them at the pool of Gibeon together: and these will sit by the pool from hence, and those by the pool from thence. 14 And Abner will say to Joab, Now shall the boys arise and play before us. And Joab will say, They shall arise. 15 And they will rise and pass over by number, twelve to Benjamin, and to the man of shame, son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David. 16 And they will seize each upon the head of his neighbor, and his sword in the side of his neighbor, and they will fall together: and he will call, that place Helkath-Hazurim, which is in Gibeon. 17 And the war will be hard even exceedingly, in that day; and Abner will be smitten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. 2 Samuel 2:8-17, Smith's Literal Translation.
