15 And again were the Philistines at war with Israel, and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines, and David grew faint. 16 And Ishbi-benob, who was one of the sons of Rapha—and the weight of his spear was three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, and he was bearing a new one—spoke of striking David. 17 And Abishai son of Zeruiah came to aid him and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, “You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel.” 18 And it came to pass after thus, that the battle there was again at Gob with the Philistines. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of Rapha. 19 And there was war again at Gob with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite struck the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the shaft of his spear was like a weavers’ beam. 20 And there was war again at Gath, where there was a man of stature, and the fingers of his hands were six, and the toes of his feet six—twenty-four in number. And also he was born from Rapha. 21 And he defied Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimei the brother of David killed him. 22 These four were born of Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. 2 Samuel 21:15-22, Berean Literal Bible.
