2 Samuel 21:15-17

International Standard Version

Israel Battles Four Giants from Gath^(A)

¹⁵ Afterwards, war broke out between the Philistines and Israel, so David went down to fight the Philistines. David became weary, ¹⁶ and Ishbi-benob, who had been fathered by giants,^[a] said he intended to kill David. (His bronze spearhead weighed 300 shekels,^[b] and he carried state-of-the-art^[c] weaponry.) ¹⁷ But Zeruiah’s son Abishai came to David’s aid, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. After this, David’s army told him, “You’re not going out anymore with us to battle, so Israel’s beacon won’t be extinguished!”
