1 Chronicles 20:8

Davidthe giant in GathGath

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.

These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
