Discovery Box2 Samuel 2:16 
Context2:16 As they grappled with one another, each one stabbed his opponent with his sword and they fell dead together. 1 So that place is called the Field of Flints; 2 it is in Gibeon.
2 Samuel 14:6
Context14:6 Your servant 3 has two sons. When the two of them got into a fight in the field, there was no one present who could intervene. One of them struck the other and killed him.
1 tn Heb “and they grabbed each one the head of his neighbor with his sword in the side of his neighbor and they fell together.”
2 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.”
3 tn Here and elsewhere (vv. 7, 12, 15a, 17, 19) the woman uses a term which suggests a lower level female servant. She uses the term to express her humility before the king. However, she uses a different term in vv. 15b-16. See the note at v. 15 for a discussion of the rhetorical purpose of this switch in terminology.
