19 There was still another battle with the Philistines at Gob. A soldier named Elhanan killed Goliath[a] from Gath, whose spear shaft was like a weaver's beam.[b] Elhanan's father was Jari[c] from Bethlehem.

20 There was another war, this time in Gath. One of the enemy soldiers was a descendant of the Rephaim.

Jonathan was the son of David's brother Shimei.
