I Chronicles 20:4-8



I Chronicles 20:4-8 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued. And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam. And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him. These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants. The writer of our verses tells of three giant men who were killed during David’s early years as king. It mentions Goliath and the country of Gath. I think that when Goliath was killed by David, the teenager, Goliath’s brothers and father were ticked! You will remember that David picked up how many smooth stones when he confronted Goliath? Five is the answer. David was ready for Goliath, and he had four more stones for Goliath’s brothers and father, if need be. But Sibbechai, Elhanan and David’s nephew, Jonathan finished off the giant clan. David had many great warriors who had his back. They took care of their king! Good work, men!
