2 Samuel 21:17-19
New Living Translation
17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue and killed the Philistine. Then David’s men declared, “You are not going out to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out the light of Israel?”
18 After this, there was another battle against the Philistines at Gob. As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph, another descendant of the giants.
19 During another battle at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair[a] from Bethlehem killed the brother of Goliath of Gath.[b] The handle of his spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam!
