2 Samuel21:20
20 And there was yet a battel in Gath , where was a man of great stature ▪, that had on every hand six fingers, and on every foot six toes, four and twenty in number, and he also was born to the giant.
i. e. In the Territory of the City of Gath. Which circumstance intimates, that this, and consequently the other Battels here described, were fought before David had taken Gath out of the hands of the Philistines, which he did 2 Sam. 8. 1. compare with 1 Chron. 18. 1. and therefore not in the last days of David, as some conceive from their mention in this place. ▪ Or, a man of Middin or Madon, as the LXX render it, so called from the place of his birth, as Goliath is said to be of Gath for the same reason.
Marginal references: Or, Rapha.
