¹⁷ but Abishai son of Zeruiah ·killed the Philistine and saved David’s life [^Lcame to help him and struck down the Philistine].

Then David’s men ·made a promise [swore; vowed] to him, saying, “Never again will you go out with us to battle. ·If you were killed, Israel would lose its greatest leader [^L…so that you do not extinguish the lamp/light of Israel].”
