2 Samuel 21:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ Again the Philistines hath war with Israel: and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines, and David fainted.
16 Then Ishbi-Benob which was of the sons of [a]Haraphah (the head of whose spear weighed three hundred [b]shekels of brass) even he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou quench the [c]light of Israel.
