2 Samuel 21:16 · ZARZA Bible

In context

14They buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the territory of Benjamin, at Zela, in the tomb of Kish, Saul’s father, and did everything the king had commanded. After that, God was moved by prayer for the land. 15There was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down with his servants to fight against the Philistines, and David grew weary. 16Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giant — his bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels, and he wore a new sword — intended to kill David. 17But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to his aid, struck the Philistine down, and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, “You will never again go out with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel.” 18Some time later, war broke out again with the Philistines at Gob. It was then that Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, one of the descendants of the giant.
