Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Samuel 2:16:

• Kupsabiny: “Each one took hold of the head of his enemy and pierced with the sword at the rib so that all of them died. That place was named, ‘The field of the sword’.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Then each of them grasped his opponent’s head and pierced his waist with a dagger. In this way they all fell down. So this place in Gibeon is called Helkath-hazzurim.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “They hold-each-other on the head and thrust-each-other until they all died. That-is-why that place in Gibeon was-called Helkat Hazurim.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “Each of them grabbed the head of the man against whom he was fighting, and thrust his sword into that man’s side. The result was that all 24 of them fell down dead. So that area in Gibeon is now called ‘Field of Swords’.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
