Abishai Rescues David

15And there was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down with his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines, and David grew weary.

16And Ishbi-benob, who was among the descendants of Rapha, whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze, and who was girded with a new sword, said that he would strike down David.

17But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “You must not go out with us to battle any longer, lest you extinguish the lamp of Israel.”

18After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of Rapha.

19And there was again war at Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck down Goliath the Gittite, and the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam.

20And there was war again at Gath, and there was a man of great size whose fingers and toes were six and six, twenty-four in number; he also was born to the Rapha.

21And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck him down.

22These four were born to the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
