17But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to save David. He struck the Philistine down and killed him.
Then David’s men took an oath and made a promise. They said to David, “We never want you to go out with us to battle again. You are the lamp of Israel’s kingdom. We want that lamp to keep on burning brightly.”
