1 Chronicles 20:7

DavidJonadab

5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

6 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,

and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.

8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
