¹⁹ Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed^[a] Goliath of Gath. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam.^(A)

²³ He also killed an Egyptian who was 2.25 metres tall.^[a] Even though the Egyptian had a spear in his hand like a weaver’s beam,^(A) Benaiah went down to him with a staff, snatched the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and then killed him with his own spear.
