2 Samuel 21:21

Good News Translation (US Version)

He defied the Israelites, and Jonathan, the son of David's brother Shammah, killed him.

See the chapter Copy

I have killed lions and bears, and I will do the same to this heathen Philistine, who has defied the army of the living God.

Here and now I challenge the Israelite army. I dare you to pick someone to fight me!”

Jesse then brought Shammah. “No, the Lord hasn't chosen him either,” Samuel said.

Jonathan, King David's uncle, was a skillful adviser and a scholar. He and Jehiel son of Hachmoni were in charge of the education of the king's sons.

Jesse had seven sons. In order of age they were: Eliab, Abinadab, Shammah,

Where are the kings of the cities of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”

The Philistines lined up on one hill and the Israelites on another, with a valley between them.

Then there was another battle at Gath, where there was a giant who loved to fight. He had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.

These four were descendants of the giants of Gath, and they were killed by David and his men.

But he had a friend, a very shrewd man named Jonadab, the son of David's brother Shammah.
