1 Chronicles 20:4-8

New International Reader's Version

Israel Goes to War Against the Philistines

⁴ War broke out at Gezer against the Philistines. At that time Sibbekai killed Sippai. So the Philistines were brought under Israel’s control. Sibbekai was a Hushathite. Sippai was from the family line of Rapha.

⁵ In another battle against the Philistines, Elhanan killed Lahmi. Elhanan was the son of Jair. Lahmi was the brother of Goliath. Goliath was from the city of Gath. Lahmi’s spear was as big as a weaver’s rod.

⁶ There was still another battle. It took place at Gath. A huge man lived there. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. So the total number of his toes and fingers was 24. He was also from the family line of Rapha. ⁷ He made fun of Israel. So Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of David’s brother Shimea.

⁸ Those Philistine men lived in Gath. They were from the family line of Rapha. David and his men killed them.
