Context of 1 Chronicles 20:7

5And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear’s shaft was like a weaver’s beam. 6And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot : and he also was the son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 8These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
