The Philistine giants
2 Samuel 21:15-22
15There was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought the Philistines; and David grew weary. 16And Ishbi-benob, who was one of the descendants of Rapha —the weight of his spear was three hundred shekels in weight of bronze, and he was girded with a new sword— said that he would strike David. 17But Abishai son of Zeruiah helped him, and he struck the Philistine and put him to death. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “You shall not go out with us to battle again, so that you do not quench the lamp of Israel.” 18After this there was again war at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Saph, who was one of the descendants of Rapha. 19There was again war at Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim, the Bethlehemite, struck Goliath the Gittite; and the shaft of his spear was like a beam of weavers. 20There was again war at Gath, and there was a man of great stature, and the fingers of his hands and the toes of his feet were six and six, twenty-four in number; and he too had been born to Rapha. 21He taunted Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, struck him. 22These four were born to Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
4And it happened after this that war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck Sippai, of the descendants of the Rephaim; and they were subdued. 5There was war again with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair struck Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; and the shaft of his spear was like a beam of weavers. 6There was war again at Gath, and there was a man of great stature, and his fingers were six and six, twenty-four; and he too had been born to Rapha. 7He taunted Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, David’s brother, struck him. 8These were born to Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
15There was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought the Philistines; and David grew weary.
