¹⁵ Now when ^(A)the Philistines were at war with Israel again, David went down, and his servants with him; and when they fought against the Philistines, David became weary. ¹⁶ Then Ishbi-benob, who was ^(B)among the descendants of the ^[a]giant, the weight of whose spear was ^[b]three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, ^[c]had strapped on a new sword, and he ^[d]intended to kill David. ¹⁷ But ^(C)Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “^(D)You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish ^(E)the lamp of Israel.”

^18 (F)Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then ^(G)Sibbecai the Hushathite struck and killed Saph, who was among the descendants of the ^[e]giant. ¹⁹ And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite ^[f]killed ^[g]Goliath the Gittite, ^(H)the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. ²⁰ And there was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also had been born ^(I)to the ^[h]giant. ²¹ When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, struck and killed him. ^22 (J)These four were born to the ^[i]giant at Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
