ગુજરાતી2 શમુએલ ૨૧:૧૭
પણ સરુયાના દીકરા અબિશાયે તેને બચાવ્યો અને પેલા પલિસ્તી પર હુમલો કરીને તેને મારી નાખ્યો. ત્યારે દાઉદના માણસોએ તેને સમ ખાઈને કહ્યું, “તારે હવેથી અમારી સાથે યુદ્ધમાં આવવું નહિ, કે રખેને તું ઇઝરાયલનો દીવો હોલવી નાખે.”
हिन्दी2 शमूएल २१:१७
परन्तु सरूयाह के पुत्र अबीशै ने दाऊद की सहायता करके उस पलिश्ती को ऐसा मारा कि वह मर गया। तब दाऊद के जनों ने शपथ खाकर उससे कहा, “तू फिर हमारे संग युद्ध को जाने न पाएगा, ऐसा न हो कि तेरे मरने से इस्राएल का दिया बुझ जाए।”
