Then Ishbi-benob, who was ^(C1)among the descendants of the ^(F1)giant, the weight of whose spear was ^(F2)three hundred shekels of bronze in weight, ^(F3)had strapped on a new sword, and he ^(F4)intended to kill David.

But ^(C1)Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then David's men swore to him, saying, "^(C2)You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish ^(C3)the lamp of Israel."

^(C1)Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then ^(C2)Sibbecai the Hushathite struck and killed Saph, who was among the descendants of the ^(F1)giant.

And there was war with the Philistines again at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite ^(F1)killed ^(F2)Goliath the Gittite, ^(C1)the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

And there was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; and he also had been born ^(C1)to the ^(F1)giant.
