1 Chronicles 20:4-8

War with the Philistines

4 Once again war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephah, and the Philistines were subdued.

5 In another war with the Philistines, Jair's son Elhanan killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.

6 At another war in Gath there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in all, who was also descended from Raphah.

7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David's brother Shimea killed him.

8 These were descended from the Raphah in Gath, and they fell by the hands of David and his servants.
