In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 2, David becomes king.
David goes to Hebron, in the lands of Judah, and sends a message to the people that he admires their loyalty to King Saul, the one God appointed as their ruler.
In the lands of Israel, another king rises up. His name is Ishbosheth. One of his officials is Abner. He challenges David's men to a duel, an armed fighting contest.
In the end, Abner and his men are chased from one end of the valley to the end, and then slaughtered, claiming victory for their new king David.
