by the head:
Probably by the beard or hair of the head. Plutarch, in his Apophthegms, informs us, that all things being ready for a battle, Alexander's captains asked him whether he had anything else to command them. "Nothing," said he, "but that the Macedonians shave their beards." Parmenio wondering what he meant, "Dost thou not know," said he, "that in fight, there is no better hold than the beard?"

Helkathhazzurim:
that is, the field of strong men, "And they caughtª ° every oneª his fellowª by the head,ª and [thrust] his swordª in his fellow'sª side;ª so they fell downª ° together:ª wherefore that¹ placeª was calledª ° Helkathhazzurim,ª which¹ [is] in Gibeon.ª" {2Sm 2:16}
