1 Chronicles 20:2-8

2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
3 He brought forth the people who were therein, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Thus did David to all the cities of the children of `Ammon. David and all the people returned to Yerushalayim.
4 It happened after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Pelishtim: then Sibbekhai the Hushatite killed Sippai, of the sons of the Rafa; and they were subdued.
5 There was again war with the Pelishtim; and Elchanan the son of Ya'ir killed Lachmi the brother of Golyat the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 There was again war at Gat, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to the Rafa.
7 When he defied Yisra'el, Yonatan the son of Shim`a David's brother killed him.
8 These were born to the Rafa in Gat; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
