14 They buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the country of Benjamin in aZelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. So they performed all that the king commanded. And after that bGod heeded the prayer for the land.
Philistine Giants Destroyed
15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint.
16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of1 the agiant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.
17 But aAbishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, b“You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the clamp of Israel.”
18 aNow it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then bSibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of2 the giant.
