King James Version with Apocrypha
"And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David."
— 2 Samuel 2:17, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.”
“And the battle was very sore that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David. ”
“The battle was very severe that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.”
“Now the battle was very severe that day; Abner and the men of Israel were overcome by David’s soldiers.”
“And there was a very fierce battle that day: and Abner was put to flight, with the men of Israel, by the servants of David.”
“And there was hard fighting that day; and Abner and the men of Israel gave way before the servants of David.”
And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise, and play before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.
Then there arose and went over by number twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to Ish–bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkath–hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
And there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.
And there were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab, and Abishai, and Asahel: and Asahel was as light of foot as a wild roe.
And Asahel pursued after Abner; and in going he turned not to the right hand nor to the left from following Abner.
Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Art thou Asahel? And he answered, I am.
