Explanation preview
This verse belongs to a short list of Philistine giants killed by David's men, closing out the chapter's war narratives. The setting is another battle at Gob, and Elhanan, a Bethlehemite, kills a Gittite whose spear shaft was as thick as a weaver's beam, the same detail used of Goliath's weapon in 1 Samuel 17.
