Chapter 20
4 After this, war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Sippai, who was one of the children of the Rephaim, and they were subdued. 5 There was war again with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair struck down Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear was like a weaver's beam. 6 There was warfare again in Gath, and there was a man of great measure, and he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number, and he was also born to the Rapha. 7 He taunted Israel, and Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David, struck him down. 8 These were born to the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
