15 Once again the Philistines (immigrants) waged war against Israel (he wrestles with God), and David (beloved) and his servants went down and fought against the Philistines. But David became exhausted. 16 Then Ishbi-benob (his dwelling is in Nob), a descendant of Rapha (the giant), whose bronze spear weighed three hundred shekels <7.5 lb / 3.4 kg> and who was bearing a new sword, resolved to kill David (beloved). 17 But Abishai (my father is a gift) son of Zeruiah (balsam) came to his aid, struck the Philistine (immigrants), and killed him. Then David’s (beloved) men swore to him, “You must never again go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel (he wrestles with God) may not be extinguished.” 2 Samuel 21:15-17, Berean Annotated Bible.
