Battles With the Philistine Giants
15 War occurred again between the Philistines and Israel. So David went down with his troops and fought against the Philistines. David became very tired. 16 Ishbi Benob was one of the descendants of Rapha the giant.[a] His bronze spear weighed more than seven pounds,[b] and he was equipped with a new weapon. He said that he was going to kill David.
