UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) Abishai son of Zeruiah

(Some words not found in UHB: and,aid to=him/it Abishai son_of Zeruiah and,attacked DOM the,Philistine and,killed,him then swore men_of Dāvid's to=him/it to=say not go_out again/more with,us to_the,battle and=not quench DOM lamp Yisrael )

Abishai and Zeruiah are names of men. See how you translated these names in 2 Samuel 2:18.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) you do not put out the lamp of Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and,aid to=him/it Abishai son_of Zeruiah and,attacked DOM the,Philistine and,killed,him then swore men_of Dāvid's to=him/it to=say not go_out again/more with,us to_the,battle and=not quench DOM lamp Yisrael )

The “lamp of Israel” is a metaphor that refers to David’s leadership and the idea that if David were to die, the people of Israel would have no clear direction.
