2633.—The Man of Great Stature. 1 Chron. 20: 6.

In 1 Chron. 20: 6 we learn of a "war at Gath where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant." Who is this giant and where can we read about him in the Bible?

A. H. B.

Evidently the six-toed, six-fingered man was a son of the father of Goliath, and a brother to Goliath. We read in connection with it, verses four and five, of Sippai and Lahmi, the brothers of Goliath; three of them evidently brothers. Of the one mentioned in the sixth verse it is said: "He also was the son of the giant." They were all brothers. "These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants." Goliath had at least three brothers.
