2 Samuel 21:18-22

18Some time later at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph,1 a descendant of Rapha.

19Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jair2 the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath3 the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

20And there was also a battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha, 21and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei4 killed him.

22So these four descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
