Then David asked Ahimelech the Hethite and Joab’s brother Abishai son of Zeruiah, ‘Who will go with me into the camp to Saul? ’ ‘I’ll go with you,’ answered Abishai.
Abishai, Joab’s brother and son of Zeruiah, was leader of the Three. He wielded his spear against three hundred men and killed them, gaining a reputation among the Three.
The king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, ‘Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.’ All the people heard the king’s orders to all the commanders about Absalom.
Why then have you despised the Lord’s command by doing what I consider evil? You struck down Uriah the Hethite with the sword and took his wife as your own wife #– #you murdered him with the Ammonite’s sword.
However, the archers shot down on your servants from the top of the wall, and some of the king’s servants died. Your servant Uriah the Hethite is also dead.’
At Thebez, who struck Abimelech son of Jerubbesheth? , Didn’t a woman drop an upper millstone on him from the top of the wall so that he died? Why did you get so close to the wall? ” #– #then say, “Your servant Uriah the Hethite is dead also.” ’
He said, ‘You will know that the living God is among you and that he will certainly dispossess before you the Canaanites, Hethites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites, and Jebusites
That night, David and Abishai came to the troops, and Saul was lying there asleep in the inner circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. Abner and the troops were lying around him.
A chariot was imported from Egypt for seven kilograms of silver, and a horse for two kilograms. In the same way, they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram through their agents.
for the Lord had caused the Aramean camp to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army. The Arameans had said to each other, ‘The king of Israel must have hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Egypt to attack us.’
So Joab son of Zeruiah and David’s soldiers marched out and met them by the pool of Gibeon. The two groups took up positions on opposite sides of the pool.
