1 Chronicles 20:4
Compare all
2 Then David atook their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the1 spoil of the city in great abundance.  
3 And he brought out the people who were in it, and1 put them to work with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. So David did to all the cities of the people of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.  

Philistine Giants Destroyed

4 Now it happened afterward athat war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time bSibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was one of the sons of the giant. And they were subdued.  
5 Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s abeam.  
6 Yet again athere was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, with twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to1 the giant.  
7 So when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of1 Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.  
8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

1 Chronicles 20:1-8

David's wars.

- Though the Lord will severely correct the sins of his believing people, he will not leave them in the hands of their enemies. His assistance will overcome all advantages of number and strength of those that defy his Israel. All that trust in Christ, shall be made more than conquerors through him that loveth them.
