2 Sam 21:15Once again the Philistines waged war against Israel. David and his men went down and fought the Philistines, and David became exhausted.2 Sam 21:16And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David.2 Sam 21:17But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished.”2 Sam 21:18In still another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Sibbecai the Hushathite) killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.2 Sam 21:19In still another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan) son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear shaft was like a weaver’s rod.2 Sam 21:20In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha.2 Sam 21:21When he taunted Israel, Jonathan) son of Shimeah), David’s brother, killed him.2 Sam 21:22These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
