(A)Now it happened afterwards, that war [a]broke out at [b]Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, one among those born of the [c]giants, and they were subdued. And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of (B)Jair struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the (C)shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Then there was war at Gath again, and there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also had been born to the giants. And he [d]reproached Israel, so Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, struck him down. These were born to the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

War With the Philistines(A)

In the course of time, war broke out with the Philistines, at Gezer.(B) At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaites,(C) and the Philistines were subjugated.

In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.(D)

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 taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

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