In context

15So they got up and were counted off—twelve for Benjamin and Ish-bosheth son of Saul, and twelve for David.

16Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.

17The battle that day was intense, and Abner and the men of Israel were defeated by the servants of David.

18The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle,

19And he chased Abner, not turning to the right or to the left in his pursuit.
