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.
