Philistine Giants Are Killed

⁴ Later, war broke out between Israel and the Philistines at Gezer. At this time Sibbecai from Hushah killed Sippai. Sippai was one of the descendants of the Rephaites. So those Philistines were defeated.

⁵ Another time, the Israelites again fought the Philistines. Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath. Goliath was from the town of Gath. Lahmi’s spear was as large as a weaver’s rod.

⁶ Later, the Israelites fought another war with the Philistines at Gath. In this town there was a very large man. He had 6 fingers on each hand and 6 toes on each foot. So he had 24 fingers and toes in all. He also was a descendant of Rapha. ⁷ When he made fun of Israel, Jonathan killed him. Jonathan was the son of Shimea, David’s brother.

⁸ These Philistines were descendants of Rapha from Gath. David and his men killed them.
