AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Samuel 21:20 There was war at Gath again, where there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty-four in number; he also was a descendant of the giants. |
Bible Question: In 2 Samuel 21:20-21 and in 1 Chronicles 20:6-7, we are introduced to a descendant of the giant or Rephaim who had six fingers and toes, twenty four fingers and toes in all! Was this just a physical anomaly of the giants or has this anomaly occurred to other people? |
Bible Answer: Reading 1 Sam 21:22 and 1 Chronicles 20 I think there is enough evidence to conclude these four were related to Goliath the giant that David first killed. I think this is the reason David picked up 5 smooth stones 1 Sam. 17:40. David evidently knew Goliath had four relatives and I think David was preparing to fight Goliath plus the four of them. Evidently the 6 fingers along with their great stature was a generic trait. |
