What a narrow escape! How grateful David must have been that Abishai had kept an eye on him and had quickly come to his aid when his life was in danger! What lessons can we draw from this account?
وَلٰكِنْ مَا إِنْ حَاوَلَ طَعْنَهُ حَتَّى ‹ أَنْجَدَهُ أَبِيشَايُ بْنُ صَرُويَةَ وَضَرَبَ ٱلْفِلِسْطِيَّ فَأَمَاتَهُ › .‏
