4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him. 8. These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.

Gezer. See on 1 Chronicles 14:16.

Sibbechai. See on 2 Samuel 21:18, which places this battle with the Philistines at Gob, evidently an unidentified place near Gezer. Sibbechai was one of the valiant commanders of David’s army (1 Chronicles 11:29; 27:11).
