וַתְּהִי־עוֹד מִלְחָמָה לַפְּלִשְׁתִּים אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיֵּרֶד דָּוִד וַעֲבָדָיו עִמּוֹ וַיִּלָּחֲמוּ אֶת־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וַיָּעַף דָּוִֽד׃

Rashi
והוא חגור. חגורה חדשה ושמעתי, שאותו היום נתחנך ללבוש כלי מלחמה, ודרך המחונכים לעשות נצחון וגבורה ביום חינוכם, לקנות שם, לכך ויאמר להכות את דוד:
Who was armed. Armed with a new sword. I heard [an explanation] that on that day he was intitiated into the wearing of battle dress and it is the manner of those so initiated to [try to] be successful and mighty on the day of their initiation to make a name for themselves. That is why, he said he was going to kill Dovid.
וַיַּֽעֲזׇר־לוֹ אֲבִישַׁי בֶּן־צְרוּיָה וַיַּךְ אֶת־הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַיְמִתֵהוּ אָז נִשְׁבְּעוּ אַנְשֵֽׁי־דָוִד לוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹא־תֵצֵא עוֹד אִתָּנוּ לַמִּלְחָמָה וְלֹא תְכַבֶּה אֶת־נֵר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ {פ}
Avishai, the son Tsruyoh [came] to his aid, and struck the Peleshti and killed him. At that time, Dovid's men swore to him saying, "You shall no longer go out to war with us so that the light of Yisroel not become extinguished.
