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.
