13. He brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there, and they gathered the bones of the executed.

14. And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin at Zela, in the tomb of Kish his father. They did all that the king had commanded, and afterward God was entreated for the land.

15. There was war again for the Philistines with Israel, and David and his servants with him went down, and they fought the Philistines, and David grew weary.

17. But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and he attacked the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us any longer to the battle, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.”

18. It happened afterward that there was again battle at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph who was among the descendants of the Raphah.
