Then each man grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword into his opponent’s side, and they all fell together. So this place, which is in Gibeon, is called Helkath-hazzurim.
Commentary on 2 Samuel 2:162 voices
By the head - By the hair of the head, which after their manner was of a considerable length. Helkath-kazzurim - Or, the field of rock; that is, of men who stood like rocks unmovable, each one dying upon the spot where he fought.
John Wesley· Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
Caught every one his fellow by the head - Probably by the beard, if these persons were not too young to have one, or by the hair of the head. Alexander ordered all the Macedonians to shave their beards; and being asked by Parmenio why they should do so, answered, Dost thou not know that in battle there is no better hold than the beard? Helkath-hazzurim - The portion of the mighty; or, The inheritance of those who were slain, according to the Targum.
