1 Ch. 20: Ammonite Shyamalan

1 Chronicles 20:6 "In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha."

David conquers the Ammonites some more, and then the Philistines. Still fighting those giants. You'd think the Goliath incident would have made the descendents of Rapha think twice before taking on the giants.

Plus anytime you defeat someone with polydactyly, that's awesome.

I guess I would point to the symbolism of David taking the crown from another king, and putting it on his own head. It was a transfer of power. Of wealth. Is this a microcosm of Israel? The crown is the reward. The land was a reward promised to Israel. And David comes, and with God behind him, takes the reward.
