Joab son of Zeruiah and David’s men marched out too, and they met by the pool of Gibeon; one group sat down on one side of the pool, the other on the other side.
In context
11The length of time David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months. 12Abner son of Ner and the men of Ish-bosheth son of Saul marched out from Mahanaim to Gibeon. 13Joab son of Zeruiah and David’s men marched out too, and they met by the pool of Gibeon; one group sat down on one side of the pool, the other on the other side. 14Abner said to Joab, “Let the young men get up and fight in front of us.” Joab said, “Let them.” 15So they got up and crossed over, twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve of David’s men.
