2 Samuel 21:15-17

Evangelical Heritage Version

Battles With the Philistine Giants

¹⁵ War occurred again between the Philistines and Israel. So David went down with his troops and fought against the Philistines. David became very tired. ¹⁶ Ishbi Benob was one of the descendants of Rapha the giant.^[a] His bronze spear weighed more than seven pounds,^[b] and he was equipped with a new weapon. He said that he was going to kill David. ¹⁷ Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s aid. He attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You are not to go out to battle with us anymore, so that you do not put out the lamp of Israel.”
