Saph

SAPH săf (סַ֕ף). A descendant of the Philistine giants, and one of four champions who were slain by a member of the “Thirty,” Sibbecai the Hushathite, in a fight with the Philistines at Gob (2 Sam 21:18); called Sippai in 1 Chronicles 20:4. Some scholars have thought that he was a son of the giant Goliath, but this is uncertain.
