Battles Against Phillistine Giants


Once again the Phillistine were at war with Israel,
And when David and his men were in the thick of battle,
David became weak and exhausted.
Ishbi-benob was descendant of the giants,
his bronze spearhead weighted more than seven pounds,
and he was armed with a new sword.
He had cornered David and was about to kill him.
But Abishah son of Zeruiah came to David's rescue and killed the Phillistine.
Then David's men men declared.
"You are not going to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out of the light of Israel"?
After this, there was another battle against the Phillistine at Gob.

As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph, another descendant of giants.
During another battle at Gob, Elhanam son of Jair from Bethlehem killed the brother of Goliath of Gath.
The handle of his spear was as thick as a waiver's beam!
In another battle with Phillistine at Gath,
they encountered a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot,
twenty-four in all, who was also a descendant of the giants.
But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan,
the son of David's brother Shimea.
These four Phillistines were descendants of the giants of Gath,
but David in his warriors killed them.

A lot of giants appeared and stop us in our walk , but never get discourage if we think that the Lord is with us.
