Battles against Philistine giants

1Ch 20:4–8

21:15 Battles against Philistine giants

(1 Chr. 20:4-8)

15The Philistines started attacking Israel again, and David and his men went down towards the coast and fought back, but David became exhausted. 16The Philistines had a champion named Yishbi-Benov who was a descendant of giants. He wore new armour and his bronze spear weighed over three kilograms. He intended to kill David 17but Tseruyah’s son Abishai helped David, and he struck the Philistine and killed him. Then, David’s men made a decision, saying, “You won’t go out to battle with us anymore because we don’t want Israel’s lamp to be extinguished.”[ref]

18Some time after that, there was another battle with the Philistines at Gov, and Sibbecai (the Hushathite) killed Saph who was another descendant of the giants.

19Then in another battle with the Philistines at Gov, Elhanan (son of Yaare-Oregim, from Beyt-Lehem) killed Goliath the Gittite even though his spear handle was like a weaver’s beam.

20In a different battle in Gat, there was a fierce man there with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot who was also a descendant of the giants, 21but when he taunted Israel, Yonatan (son of David’s brother Shimeah) killed him. 22Those four men were descendants of the giants in Gat, but they were killed by David and his men.
