2 Samuel 21:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
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 [a]light of Israel.
18 ¶ And after this also there was a battle with the Philistines at [b]Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was one of the sons of Haraphah.
19 And there was yet another battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, a Bethlehemite slew [c]Goliath the Gittite: the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
