2 Samuel 21:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 21:16

And Ishbibenob, which [was] of the sons of the giant
Of Goliath, or of a giant, of the race of them:

the weight of whose spear [weighed] three hundred [shekels] of brass in
weight;
which must be understood either of the wood of it, or of the head of it, the flaming point of it, as many interpret it; and if so, it was but half the weight of Goliath's spear, unless there was any difference of the weight of iron and of brass, see ( 1 Samuel 17:7 ) ;

he being girded with a new [sword];
or rather with a new girdle, as the Targum; and so Jarchi, which might be given him as a mark of honour, or as a token of his having a commission in the army:

thought to have slain David;
his aim was at him, and perceiving him faint and feeble, thought to take the advantage of it, and dispatch him.

2 Samuel 21:16 In-Context

14 Y sepultaron los huesos de Saúl y de su hijo Jonatán en tierra de Benjamín, en Zela, en el sepulcro de su padre Cis, e hicieron todo lo que el rey había ordenado; después de esto Dios fue movido a misericordia para con la tierra.
15 Hubo de nuevo guerra de los filisteos contra Israel. Descendió David con sus siervos, y mientras peleaban contra los filisteos, David se cansó.
16 Entonces Isbi-benob, que era de los descendientes del gigante, y cuya lanza pesaba trescientos siclos de bronce, y que estaba ceñido con una espada nueva, trató de matar a David;
17 pero Abisai, hijo de Sarvia, vino en su ayuda, e hirió al filisteo y lo mató. Entonces los hombres de David le juraron, diciendo: Nunca más saldrás a la batalla con nosotros, para que no apagues la lámpara de Israel.
18 Sucedió después de esto que hubo otra vez guerra en Gob contra los filisteos; entonces Sibecai husatita mató a Saf, que era de los descendientes del gigante.
