And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels and who was armed with a new ⌈sword⌈, said he would kill David. But Abishaib 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 lampc of Israel will not be extinguished.d”
In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbekaie the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite,f who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.g
In 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. When he tauntedh Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah,i David’s brother, killed him.
These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
