2 Samuel 21:16-18
International Standard Version
16 and Ishbi-benob, who had been fathered by giants,[a] said he intended to kill David. (His bronze spearhead weighed 300 shekels,[b] and he carried state-of-the-art[c] weaponry.) 17 But Zeruiah’s son Abishai came to David’s aid, attacked the Philistine, and killed him. After this, David’s army told him, “You’re not going out anymore with us to battle, so Israel’s beacon won’t be extinguished!” 18 Sometime later after this incident, there was another battle with the Philistines at Gob. Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Saph, who had been fathered by giants.
