Lahmi

Meaning: my bread; my war · Male · 1 cross reference

Lahmi is the brother of Goliath named in 1 Chronicles 20:5. He belongs to the giant-warrior tradition that continues to threaten Israel even in David's era. First appears in 1 Chr 20:5.1

AI summary: Lahmi matters because his single cross reference appears in the account of another giant being struck down by one of David's warriors. The entry helps show that the defeat of giant enemies extends beyond David's own battle and becomes part of his kingdom's wider military story. Taken together, the material presents Lahmi as a giant figure linked to Philistine opposition.1
