2:16 As they grappled with one another, each one stabbed his opponent with his sword and they fell dead together.16 So that place is called the Field of Flints;17 it is in Gibeon.
tnHeb “and they grabbed each one the head of his neighbor with his sword in the side of his neighbor and they fell together.”

tn The meaning of the name “Helkath Hazzurim” (so NIV; KJV, NASB, NRSV similar) is not clear. BHK relates the name to the Hebrew term for “side,” and this is reflected in NAB “the Field of the Sides”; the Greek OT revocalizes the Hebrew to mean something like “Field of Adversaries.” Cf. also TEV, NLT “Field of Swords”; CEV “Field of Daggers.”
