FOOTNOTES:

F5 make her to be the same with Orpah, ( Ruth 1:4 ) . These giants, it is highly probable, were the descendants of the Anakim which remained in Gath after they were cut off by Joshua in other places, ( Joshua 11:22 ) ; and fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants;
the first, Ishbibenob, fell by the hand of David assisted by Abishai, and the other three by the persons mentioned.
F5 T. Bab. Sotah. fol. 42. 2.
