SCRIPTURE

"And the battle was very sore that day: and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before the servants of David." — 2 Samuel 2:17 (ASV)

Neither side had the advantage in the combat of twelve on each side; so, the battle was fought with great fierceness by the two armies, and the victory was won by David.
