Philistine Giants Destroyed

15 When the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint.

16 Then Ishbi-Benob, who was one of the sons of¹ the ^agiant, the weight of whose bronze spear was three hundred shekels, who was bearing a new sword, thought he could kill David.

17 But ^aAbishai the son of Zeruiah came to his aid, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, ^b“You shall go out no more with us to battle, lest you quench the ^clamp of Israel.”

18 ^aNow it happened afterward that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then ^bSibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was one of the sons of² the giant.

19 Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where ^aElhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed ^bthe brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
