Fighting Philistine Giants(A)

Afterwards, war broke out against the Philistines at Gezer, where Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim,[a] defeating the Philistines. There was also another battle against the Philistines, when Jair’s son Elhanan killed Lahmi the Gittite, Goliath’s brother, whose spear was as big as[b] a weaver’s beam. There was also a battle at Gath, where there was a very tall man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—for a total of 24 digits—who was a descendant of the Rephaim.[c] When he challenged Israel, Shimei’s son Jonathan, David’s nephew,[d] killed him. These descendants from the giants in Gath died at the hands of David and his servants.
