Contextual Overview

15 And the Philistines had yet again a war with Israel, - so David went down, and his servants with him, and fought the Philistines, and David became faint. 16 So, Ishbi-benob, who was of the descendants of the giant, the weight of whose spear-head, was three hundred shekels of bronze, he also being newly armed, thought to smite David; 17 but Abishai son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and smote the Philistine, and slew him. Then, sware the men of David unto him, saying - Thou must not go forth any more with us, to battle, that thou quench not the lamp of Israel. 18 And it came to pass, after this, that there was yet again a battle in Gob, with the Philistines, - then, Sibbekai the Hushathite smote Saph, who was of the descendants of the giant. 19 And there was yet again a battle in Gob with the Philistines, - when Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim of Bethlehem, smote Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam. 20 And there was yet again a battle in Gath; when there was a man of stature, with six fingers on each hand, and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also, having been born to the giant; 21 but, when he reproached Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah David's brother, smote, him. 22 These four, had been born to the giant in Gath, - but they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

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.
