Context of 1 Chronicles 20:7

5In another battle against the Philistines, Jair's son Elhanan killed Lahmi. Lahmi was the brother of Goliath who came from Gath. He had a spear that was very thick and heavy, like a big tree. 6There was another battle at Gath. Another descendant of Rapha fought against the Israelites there. He was a very large man. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He shouted to insult the Israelite soldiers. So Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shimea, killed him. 8Those Philistines were descendants of Rapha and they lived in Gath. David and his soldiers killed all of them.
