16And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekelsb and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David. 17But Abishaiv son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lampw of Israel will not be extinguished.x”

18In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbekaiy the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.

19In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jairc the Bethlehemite killed the brother ofd Goliath the Gittite,z who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.a

20In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 21When he tauntedb Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah,c David’s brother, killed him.

22These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
