15Now when 1the PhilistinesH6430 were at warH4421 with IsraelH3478 againH5750, DavidH1732 wentH3381 downH3381, and his servantsH5650 with him; and when they foughtH3898 againstH854 the PhilistinesH6430, DavidH1732 becameH5888 wearyH5888. 16Then Ishbi-benobH3430, whoH834 was 2among the descendantsH3211 of the 3giantH7498, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 was 4threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of bronzeH5178 in weightH4948, 5had strappedH2296 onH2296 a newH2319 sword, and he 6intendedH559 to killH5221 DavidH1732. 17But 7AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 helpedH5826 him, and struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 and killedH4191 him. ThenH227 David’sH1732 menH376 sworeH7650 to him, sayingH559, “8You shall not goH3318 outH3318 againH5750 with us to battleH4421, so that you do not extinguishH3518 9the lampH5216 of IsraelH3478.”
