The wars at Gob and at Gath, and the four born to the giant in Gath

곱과 가드의 전쟁과 가드의 장대한 자의 소생 네 사람

2 Samuel 21:18–22: after this, there is again war with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite kills Saph, who was of the sons of the giant. There is again war with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite kills Goliath the Gittite’s brother, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam. There is again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, twenty-four in number, and he also was born to the giant. When he defies Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, kills him. The text says, “These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.” At 21:19 the Korean Revised Version names the brother 라흐미 and says 그 자의 창 자루 (that man’s spear shaft); at 21:21 it names David’s brother 삼마.
