Abishai

Generation 5 from Adam

Biography

The son of Zeruiah and brother of Joab, Abishai was one of David's mighty men and a fierce warrior. He saved David's life in battle against a Philistine giant, wanted to kill Saul when they found him sleeping, and led various military campaigns. He remained loyal to David during Absalom's rebellion.
Abishai represents fierce loyalty and courage, though like his brother Joab, his zeal sometimes needed to be restrained by wiser counsel.
