6 Then David answered and 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 to Saul into the camp?” To this A·bishʹai said: “I myself shall go down with you.”+

10 And the rest of the people he gave into the hand of A·bishʹai+ his brother, that he might draw them up in formation to meet the sons of Amʹmon.+

18 As for A·bishʹai+ the brother of Joʹab the son of Ze·ruʹiah,+ he was the head of the thirty,* and he was brandishing his spear over three hundred slain ones, and he had a reputation like the three.+

20 As for A·bishʹai+ the brother of Joʹab,+ he himself became head of the three; and he was brandishing his spear over three hundred slain, and he had a reputation like the three.*

12 As for A·bishʹai+ the son of Ze·ruʹiah,+ he struck down the Eʹdom·ites in the Valley of Salt,+ eighteen thousand.
