2 Samuel 21:15–22

Philistine Giants Destroyed

¹⁵When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. ¹⁶Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of ⁵the ^rgiant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. ¹⁷But ^sAbishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, ^t“You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the ^ulamp of Israel.”

^18vNow it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then ^wSibbechai the Hushathite killed ⁶Saph, who was one of the sons of ⁷the giant. ¹⁹Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where ^xElhanan the son of ⁸Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed ^ythe brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

²⁰Yet again ^zthere was war at Gath, where 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 was born to ⁹the giant. ²¹So when he ^adefied Israel, Jonathan the son of ¹Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

^22bThese four were born to ²the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
