Contextual Overview

¹⁵ Again there was war between the Philistines and Israel. David and his men went out to fight the Philistines, but David became tired. ¹⁶ Ishbi-Benob, one of the sons of Rapha, had a bronze spearhead weighing about seven and one-half pounds and a new sword. He planned to kill David, ¹⁷ but Abishai son of Zeruiah killed the Philistine and saved David's life. Then David's men made a promise to him, saying, "Never again will you go out with us to battle. If you were killed, Israel would lose its greatest leader." ¹⁸ Later, at Gob, there was another battle with the Philistines. Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, another one of the sons of Rapha. ¹⁹ Later, there was another battle at Gob with the Philistines. Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim from Bethlehem killed Goliath from Gath. His spear was as large as a weaver's rod. ²⁰ At Gath another battle took place. A huge man was there; he had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four fingers and toes in all. This man also was one of the sons of Rapha. ²¹ When he challenged Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David's brother, killed him. ²² These four sons of Rapha from Gath were killed by David and his men.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass after this,.... After the former battle:

that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob; in

1 Chronicles 20:4 it is called Gezer; either the place had two names, or these two places were near each other; so that the battle may be said to be fought both at the one and at the other, being fought equally near to both:

then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which [was] of the sons of the giant; who is called Sippai, 1 Chronicles 20:4; he had his name from the lintel of a door, being as high as one, so tall that he could scarce go under one. Sibbechai was one of David's worthies, 1 Chronicles 11:29; perhaps a descendant of Hushah, who sprung from Judah, 1 Chronicles 4:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A battle in Gob - In the parallel passage (marginal reference), “Gezer” is named as the field of this battle. However, Gath is named 2 Samuel 21:20, 2 Samuel 21:22 in a way to make it probable that Gath was the scene of all the battles. The Septuagint in this verse has “Gath.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Samuel 21:18. A battle - at Gob — Instead of Gob, several editions, and about forty of Kennicott's and De Rossi's MSS., have nob; but Gezer is the name in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles 20:4.
