Giants Fall

Name Date

Read and Think

At the time when kings go out to battle, Joab led the army against the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it. David took the crown of their king, which weighed a talent of gold with precious stones.

Then war arose with the Philistines at Gezer and at Gath. Sibbecai defeated Sippai, of the sons of the giant. Elhanan defeated Lahmi the brother of Goliath, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.

At Gath there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, defeated him. These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and his servants (20:8).
