War with Philistine Giants
A2 Sam 11:1Then it happened 1Lit at the return of the yearin the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And B2 Sam 12:26Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it. A2 Sam 12:30, 31David took the crown of 1In Zeph 1:5, Malcamtheir king from his head, and he found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there was a precious stone in it; and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. He brought out the people who were in it, A2 Sam 12:31and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
A2 Sam 21:18-22Now it came about after this, that war 1Lit stood upbroke out at 2In 2 Sam 21:18, GobGezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite 3Lit smotekilled Sippai, one of the descendants of the 4Heb Raphah, and so in vv 6, 8giants, and they were subdued. And there was war with the Philistines again, and Elhanan the son of A2 Sam 21:19Jair 1Lit smotekilled Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the B1 Sam 17:7; 1 Chr 11:23shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. Again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot; and he also was descended from the giants. When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, 1Lit smotekilled him. These were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
