2 Samuel 21:17-19
English Standard Version
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid and attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, (A)“You shall no longer go out with us to battle, lest you quench (B)the lamp of Israel.”
18 (C)After this there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then (D)Sibbecai (E)the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was one of the descendants (F)of the giants. 19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob, and (G)Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck down Goliath the Gittite, (H)the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.[a]
