2 Samuel 21 15-2 Samuel 21 22
Once again the Philistines were at war with Israel. And when David and his men were in the thick of battle, David became weak and exhausted.Ishbi benob was a descendant of the giants; his bronze spearhead weighed more than seven pounds, and he was armed with a new sword. He had cornered David and was about to kill him.But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue and killed the Philistine. Then David’s men declared,“ You are not going out to battle with us again! Why risk snuffing out the light of Israel?”After this, there was another battle against the Philistines at Gob. As they fought, Sibbecai from Hushah killed Saph, another descendant of the giants.During another battle at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair from Bethlehem killed the brother of Goliath of Gath. The handle of his spear was as thick as a weaver’s beam!In another battle with the Philistines at Gath, they encountered a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, twenty four in all, who was also a descendant of the giants.But when he defied and taunted Israel, he was killed by Jonathan, the son of David’s brother Shimea.These four Philistines were descendants of the giants of Gath, but David and his warriors killed them.

Isaiah 14:29-32
Do not rejoice, you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken— that the king who attacked you is dead. For from that snake a more poisonous snake will be born, a fiery serpent to destroy you!I will feed the poor in my pasture; the needy will lie down in peace. But as for you, I will wipe you out with famine and destroy the few who remain.Wail at the gates! Weep in the cities! Melt with fear, you Philistines! A powerful army comes like smoke from the north. Each soldier rushes forward eager to fight.What should we tell the Philistine messengers? Tell them,“ The Lord has built Jerusalem; its walls will give refuge to his oppressed people.”

Ruth 4:7-8
Now in those days it was the custom in Israel for anyone transferring a right of purchase to remove his sandal and hand it to the other party. This publicly validated the transaction.So the other family redeemer drew off his sandal as he said to Boaz,“ You buy the land.”

Psalms 60:8-10
But Moab, my washbasin, will become my servant, and I will wipe my feet on Edom and shout in triumph over Philistia.”Who will bring me into the fortified city? Who will bring me victory over Edom?Have you rejected us, O God? Will you no longer march with our armies?

2 Samuel 8 1-2 Samuel 8 2
After this, David defeated and subdued the Philistines by conquering Gath, their largest town.David also conquered the land of Moab. He made the people lie down on the ground in a row, and he measured them off in groups with a length of rope. He measured off two groups to be executed for every one group to be spared. The Moabites who were spared became David’s subjects and paid him tribute money.
