6 Then David said to A·himʹe·lech the Hitʹtite+ and A·bishʹai+ the son of Ze·ruʹiah,+ the brother of Joʹab: “Who will go down with me into the camp to Saul?” A·bishʹai replied: “I will go down with you.”

30 So Joʹab and his brother A·bishʹai+ killed Abʹner+ because he had put Asʹa·hel their brother to death in the battle+ at Gibʹe·on.

10 He put the rest of the men under the command* of his brother A·bishʹai,+ in order to draw them up in battle formation to meet the Amʹmon·ites.+

6 Then David said to A·bishʹai:+ “Sheʹba+ the son of Bichʹri may do us more harm than Abʹsa·lom did.+ Take the servants of your lord and chase after him, so that he may not find fortified cities and escape from us.”

17 At once A·bishʹai+ the son of Ze·ruʹiah came to his aid+ and struck the Phi·lisʹtine down and put him to death. At that time the men of David swore this oath to him: “You must not go out with us to battle anymore!+ You must not extinguish the lamp of Israel!”+
