1 Chronicles 20:4-8
New King James Version
Philistine Giants Destroyed(A)
4 Now it happened afterward (B)that war broke out at [a]Gezer with the Philistines, at which time (C)Sibbechai the Hushathite killed [b]Sippai, who was one of the sons of [c]the giant. And they were subdued.
5 Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of [d]Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s (D)beam.
6 Yet again (E)there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to [e]the giant. 7 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of [f]Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

Authorized (King James) Version
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. 5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam. 6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant. 7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
