Then David spoke and said to Ahimelech, the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee.

So Joab and Abishai his brother slew Abner because he had slain their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

Then he delivered the rest of the people into the hand of Abishai his brother that he might put them in order against the sons of Ammon.

Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse, my lord the king? Let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.

But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this because he cursed the LORD's anointed?

And David said to Abishai, Now Sheba, the son of Bichri, shall do us more harm than Absalom; take thou thy lord's slaves and pursue after him lest he find fenced cities and escape us.

But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, helped David, and smote the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore unto him, saying, From now on thou shalt not go out with us to battle that thou not quench the light of Israel.

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of three. And he lifted up his spear against three hundred and slew them and had a name among the three.

Slew of the edomites

He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

And David received fame when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt eighteen thousand men.

O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us; thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.

The valley of salt

He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand and took Selah by war and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.

And Amaziah strengthened himself and led forth his people and went to the valley of salt and smote of the sons of Seir, ten thousand.
