1 Chronicles 20:4-8 King James Version (KJV)
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 And yet again there was 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.
7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
1 Chronicles 20:4-8 Jubilee Bible 2000 (JUB)
4 ¶ And it came to pass after this that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite, slew Sippai, of the lineage of the giant; and they were subdued.
5 And there was war again with the Philistines, and Elhanan, the son of Jair, slew Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.
6 And yet again there was war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was the son of the giant.
7 But when he dishonoured Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David’s brother slew him.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his slaves.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
4 This was probably after the winter ended the war continued. Rephaites were a race of giants.
5 So they kill another giant in war this has been at least three that we know of they were killed in battle by the Israelites. A weaver’s beam was commonly 2 inches across which was large for a spear head but it would have been larger than normal due to his massive size.
6 A miss number of fingers and toes is often times a sign of inbreeding which may point to that the Philistines were breeding this race of giants, giantism is a disease as were know today but it is not common enough to determine whether is carried thru families and handed down but this could be one reason for the race of giants.
7 David’s nephew killed this giant for mocking Israel; David killed Goliath for mocking God and Israel.
8 So the war ends this race of giants because they most likely were going to attack David and Israel because they were so large they were a threat to Israel.
