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.
