2 Samuel 21:15-22
New King James Version
Philistine Giants Destroyed(A)
15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint. 16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of [a]the (B)giant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David. 17 But (C)Abishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, (D)“You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the (E)lamp of Israel.”
18 (F)Now it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then (G)Sibbechai the Hushathite killed [b]Saph, who was one of the sons of [c]the giant. 19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where (H)Elhanan the son of [d]Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed (I)the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Yet again (J)there was war at Gath, 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 was born to [e]the giant. 21 So when he (K)defied Israel, Jonathan the son of [f]Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
22 (L)These four were born to [g]the giant in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

American Standard Version
15 And the Philistines had war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines. And David waxed faint; 16 and Ishbi-benob, who was of the sons of the [a]giant, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, he being girded with [b]a new sword, thought to have slain David. 17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then the men of David sware unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel.
18 And it came to pass after this, that there was again war with the Philistines at [c]Gob: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew [d]Saph, who was of the sons of the [e]giant. 19 And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob; and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Beth-lehemite slew [f]Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 20 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number; and he also was born to the [g]giant. 21 And when he [h]defied Israel, Jonathan the son of [i]Shimei, David’s brother, slew him. 22 These four were born to the [j]giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
