1 Chronicles 20:4-8
Legacy Standard Bible
4 (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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 And he [d]reproached Israel, so Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, struck him down. 8 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
4 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. 5 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. 6 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. 7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimea killed him. 8 These were descended from the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hands of David and his servants.
