⁶ Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

¹⁰ But if you have fear of going down, take your servant Purah with you and go down to the tents;

¹¹ And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

¹⁸ There were three sons of Zeruiah there, Joab and Abishai and Asahel: and Asahel was as quick-footed as a roe of the fields.

¹⁵ Ozem, the sixth, David, the seventh;

¹⁶ And their sisters were Zeruiah and Abigail. And Zeruiah had three sons: Abishai and Joab and Asahel.

³⁹ Uriah the Hittite: thirty-seven in number.
