NASB
"That day the battle was very severe, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David."
— 2 Samuel 2:17, NASB
“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 there was a very sore battle that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David.”
Then Abner said to Joab, "Now let the young men arise and hold a contest before us." And Joab said, "Let them arise."
So they arose and went over by count, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of the servants of David.
Each one of them seized his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent's side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called Helkath-hazzurim, which is in Gibeon.
That day the battle was very severe, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.
Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel; and Asahel was as swift-footed as one of the gazelles which is in the field.
Asahel pursued Abner and did not turn to the right or to the left from following Abner.
Then Abner looked behind him and said, "Is that you, Asahel?" And he answered, "It is I."
