16Then Ishbi-benobH3430, whoH834 was 1among the descendantsH3211 of the 2giantH7498, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 was threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of bronzeH5178 in weightH4948, 3was girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, and he 4intendedH559 to killH5221 DavidH1732. 17But 5AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 helpedH5826 him, and struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 and killedH4191 him. ThenH227 the menH376 of DavidH1732 sworeH7650 to him, sayingH559, “6You shall not goH3318 out againH5750 with us to battleH4421, soH3808 that you do not extinguishH3518 7the lampH5216 of IsraelH3478.”
