2 Samuel 21:15–22

War with the Philistines

¹⁵And ^athe Philistines were at war again with Israel, so David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary.

¹⁶Then Ishbi-benob, who was ^aamong those born to the ¹giants, the weight of whose spear was ²three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, ³was girded with a new sword, and he ⁴intended to strike down David.

¹⁷But ^aAbishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and put him to death. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “^bYou shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish ^cthe lamp of Israel.”

^18aNow it happened afterwards that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then ^bSibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among those born to the ¹giants.

¹⁹There was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck down ¹Goliath the Gittite, ^athe shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

²⁰Then there was war at Gath again, and there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also had been born ^ato the ¹giants.

²¹And he ¹reproached Israel, so Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck him down.

^22aThese four were born to the ¹giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
