Verse 16
And they caught everyone his fellow by the head ,.... By the hair of his head with his hand:
and thrust his sword in his fellow's side ; which he had in the other:
so they fell down together ; the twelve on each side, all the twenty four; some think only the twelve on Abner's side fell; but to me it seems that they all fell dead as one man, since they thrust their swords in each other's sides:
wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon ; the field of rocks, or of mighty men as strong as rocks, who stood as immovable, and would not give way, but fell and died in the field of battle; the Targum interprets it, the inheritance of the slain.
