War with the Philistines

Once again war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephah,[a] and the Philistines were subdued. In another war with the Philistines, Jair’s son Elhanan killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam. At another war in Gath there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all, who was also descended from Raphah. When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimea killed him. These were descended from the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hands of David and his servants.
