4 1Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.
5 And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of 2Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the 3shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four * fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants.
7 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8 These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
