4 Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines (immigrants) at Gezer (portion). At that time Sibbecai (weaver) the Hushathite killed Sippai (Saph), a descendant of the Rephaim (the giants), and the Philistines were subdued. 5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines (immigrants), and Elhanan (God has been gracious) son of Jair (forested) killed Lahmi (my bread) the brother of Goliath (splendor) the Gittite (belonging to Gath), the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. 6 And there was also a battle at Gath (winepress), where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha, 7 and when he taunted Israel (he wrestles with God), Jonathan (YHWH has given) the son of David’s (beloved) brother Shimei (fame) killed him. 8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath (winepress) fell at the hands of David (beloved) and his servants. 1 Chronicles 20:4-8, Berean Annotated Bible.
