2 Samuel 21:15-22

15Now when 1the PhilistinesH6430 were at warH4421 againH5750 with IsraelH3478, DavidH1732 wentH3381 downH3381 and his servantsH5650 with him; and as they foughtH3898 againstH854 the PhilistinesH6430, DavidH1732 becameH5888 wearyH5888. 16Then Ishbi-benobH3430, whoH834 was 2among the descendantsH3211 of the 3giantH7498, the weightH4948 of whose spearH7013 was threeH7969 hundredH3967 shekels of bronzeH5178 in weightH4948, 4was girdedH2296 with a newH2319 sword, and he 5intendedH559 to killH5221 DavidH1732. 17But 6AbishaiH52 the sonH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 helpedH5826 him, and struckH5221 the PhilistineH6430 and killedH4191 him. ThenH227 the menH376 of DavidH1732 sworeH7650 to him, sayingH559, “7You shall not goH3318 out againH5750 with us to battleH4421, soH3808 that you do not extinguishH3518 8the lampH5216 of IsraelH3478.”

189Now it cameH1961 about afterH310 thisH3651 that there was warH4421 againH5750 with the PhilistinesH6430 at GobH1359; thenH227 10SibbecaiH5444 the HushathiteH2843 struckH5221 downH5221 SaphH5593, whoH834 was among the descendantsH3211 of the 11giantH7498. 19There was warH4421 with the PhilistinesH6430 againH5750 at GobH1359, and ElhananH445 the sonH1121 of Jaare-oregimH3296 the BethlehemiteH1022 12killedH5221 13GoliathH1555 the GittiteH1663, 14the shaftH6086 of whose spearH2595 was like a weaver’sH707 beamH4500. 20There was warH4421 at GathH1661 againH5750, where there was a manH376 of great statureH4055 who had sixH8337 fingersH676 on each handH3027 and sixH8337 toesH676 on each footH7272, twenty-fourH6242H702 in numberH4557; and he alsoH1571 had been bornH3205 15to the 16giantH7498. 21When he defiedH2778 IsraelH3478, JonathanH3083 the sonH1121 of ShimeiH8096, David’sH1732 brotherH251, struckH5221 him downH5221. 2217TheseH428 fourH702 were bornH3205 to the 18giantH7498 in GathH1661, and they fellH5307 by the handH3027 of DavidH1732 and by the handH3027 of his servantsH5650.
