Verse 16 is found in chapter 2 of 2 Samuel. Abner’s and Joab’s armies meet by the pool of Gibeon, and the confrontation initially takes the form of combat between representatives of the two sides. The encounter quickly develops into a general battle. The text shows that Israel’s division is not merely a dispute between individuals, but a conflict that brings death among members of the same people. Civil war becomes one of the first shadows over David’s consolidation of power.
