2 Samuel 21:15-22
1599 Geneva Bible
15 ¶ Again the Philistines hath war with Israel: and David went down, and his servants with him, and they fought against the Philistines, and David fainted.
16 Then Ishbi-Benob which was of the sons of [a]Haraphah (the head of whose spear weighed three hundred [b]shekels of brass) even he being girded with a new sword, thought to have slain David.
17 But Abishai the son of Zeruiah succored him, and smote the Philistine, and killed him. Then David’s men swore unto him, saying, Thou shalt go no more out with us to battle, lest thou quench the [c]light of Israel.
18 ¶ And after this also there was a battle with the Philistines at [d]Gob, then Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Saph, which was one of the sons of Haraphah.
19 And there was yet another battle in Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim, a Bethlehemite slew [e]Goliath the Gittite: the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
20 Afterward there was also a battle in Gath, where was a man of a great stature, and had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number: who was also the son of Haraphah.
21 And when he reviled Israel, Jonathan the son of (A)Shimea the brother of David slew him.
22 These four were born to Haraphah in Gath, and died by the hand of David, and by the hands of his servants.
