16 Καὶ ἐκράτησαν ἕκαστος τῇ χειρὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ μάχαιρα αὐτοῦ εἰς πλευρὰν τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, καὶ πίπτουσι κατὰ τὸ αὐτό· καὶ ἐκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου, μερὶς τῶν ἐπιβούλων, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν Γαβαών.
Καὶ εἶπεν Ἀβεννὴρ πρὸς Ἰωὰβ, ἀναστήτωσαν δὴ τὰ παιδάρια, καὶ παιξάτωσαν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἰωὰβ, ἀναστήτωσαν.
Καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ παρῆλθον ἐν ἀριθμῷ τῶν παίδων Βενιαμὶν δώδεκα τῶν Ἰεβοσθὲ υἱοῦ Σαοὺλ, καὶ δώδεκα ἐκ τῶν παίδων Δαυίδ

Καὶ ἐγενήθη τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν Ἐξελεκὲθ, καὶ Ἀλὲφ, καὶ Βαιθὸκ, καὶ Κεὰφ,
