17 But Abishai, Zeruiah’s son, came to David’s aid. He attacked and killed this Philistine.
David’s Men (to David): You can’t go out to fight with us any longer. If you are killed, then the lamp of Israel will go out.
18 Later the Israelites fought the Philistines at Gob; and Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, another Philistine warrior descended from the giant. 19 In another fight at Gob with the Philistines, Elhanan (son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem), killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear shaft was as large as a weaver’s beam.
