2 Samuel 21:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Then Ishbi-Benob which was of the sons of [a]Haraphah (the head of whose spear weighed three hundred [b]shekels of brass) even he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou quench the [c]light of Israel.
18 ¶ And after this also there was a battle with the Philistines at [d]Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was one of the sons of Haraphah.
