2 Samuel 21:15-22 - Battles With The Philistines Recounted

¹⁵ Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David and his men went to fight the Philistines. David became exhausted. ¹⁶ A descendant of Haraphah named Benob had a copper spear weighing seven and one half pounds. He wore it on a new belt. He captured David and intended to kill him. ¹⁷ Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David's rescue. Abishai attacked the giant and killed him. Then David's men made David promise that he would never again go out with them to battle. You are the hope of Israel. We do not want to lose you! They said.

¹⁸ After this there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Sibbecai from Hushah killed a giant named Saph a descendant of Rapha.

¹⁹ There was another battle with the Philistines at Gob. Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed Goliath from Gath. Goliath's spear had a shaft as thick as the bar on a weaver's loom.

²⁰ There was another war, this time in Gath. One of the enemy soldiers was a descendant of the Rephaim. He was as big as a giant and had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. ²¹ When he challenged Israel, Jonathan, son of David's brother Shimei, killed him.

²² These four were descendants of Haraphah from Gath. David and his men killed them.
