King James Version (KJV)

And they caught every one his fellow by the head, and {thrust} his sword in his fellow's side; so they fell down together: wherefore that place was called Helkathhazzurim, which {is} in Gibeon. {Helkathhazzurim: that is, The field of strong men}

Modern English

They each caught his opponent by the head, and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together: therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
