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.
