Contextual Overview

4 And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled. 5 And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers. 6 And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been born to the giant. 7 And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David. 8 These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fall by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
