SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:19
Otra guerra hubo en Gob contra los filisteos, en la cual Elhanán, hijo de Jaare-oregim de Belén, hirió a Goliat geteo, el asta de cuya lanza era como el rodillo de un telar.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 21:19
Verse 19. Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim-slew-Goliath the Gittite] Here is a most manifest corruption of the text, or gross mistake of the transcriber; David, not Elhanan, slew Goliath. In 1 Chron. xx. 5, the parallel place, it stands thus: "Elhanan, the son of Jair, slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear-staff was like a weaver's beam." This is plain; and our translators have borrowed some words from Chronicles to make both texts agree. The corruption may be easily accounted for by considering that µygra oregim, which signifies weavers, has slipped out of one line into the other; and that ymjlh tyb beith hallachmi, the Beth-lehemite, is corrupted from ymjl ta eth Lachmi; then the reading will be the same as in Chronicles. Dr. Kennicott has made this appear very plain in his First Dissertation on the Hebrew Text, p. 78, &c.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And there was again a battle in Gob with the Philistines , etc.] Another battle with them in the same place: where Elhanan the son of Jaareoregim, a Bethlehemite, slew [the brother of] Goliath the Gittite ; the word “brother” is rightly supplied from ( Chronicles 20:5); where his name is said to be Lahmi, for not Goliath himself was slain, though some so interpret it, and take Elhanan to be David; so Jarchi, and with which agrees the Targum; but he was slain not at Gob, but in the valley of Elah, nor had David any such name as Elhanan; he was one of David’s worthies, ( 2 Samuel 23:24); where he is called the son of Dodo, and in ( 1 Chronicles 20:5), the son of Jair; and Lahmi there may not be the name of Goliath’s brother, but, as here, the country name of Elhanan; for the words there may be rendered, “and Elhanan the son of Jair, the Lehemite (i.e. the Bethlehemite), slew the brother of Goliath the Gittite,” and so perfectly agrees, with this: the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam ; not of Goliath’s brother, but of Goliath himself, ( 1 Samuel 17:7).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - These events seem to have taken place towards the end of David's reign David fainted, but he did not flee, and God sent help in the time of need. In spiritual conflicts, even strong saints sometimes wax faint then Satan attacks them furiously; but those who stand their ground an resist him, shall be relieved and made more than conquerors. Death is Christian's last enemy, and a son of Anak; but through Him tha triumphed for us, believers shall be more than conquerors at last, eve over that enemy __________________________________________________________________
