Lexham English Bible

Battles with the Philistines Recounted

¹⁵ There was war again for the Philistines with Israel, and David and his servants with him went down, and they fought the Philistines, and David grew weary. ¹⁶ Now Yishbi in Nob, who was among the descendents of Raphah^[a] (now the weight of his spearhead was three hundredweight of bronze, and he was newly armed), said that he would kill David. ¹⁷ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us any longer to the battle, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.”
