Elhanan
    whom God has graciously bestowed. (1.) A warrior of the time of
    David famed for his exploits. In the Authorized Version (2 Sam.
    21:19) it is recorded that "Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim, a
    Bethlehemite, slew the brother of Goliath." The Revised Version
    here rightly omits the words "the brother of." They were
    introduced in the Authorized Version to bring this passage into
    agreement with 1 Chr. 20:5, where it is said that he "slew Lahmi
    the brother of Goliath." Goliath the Gittite was killed by David
    (1 Sam. 17). The exploit of Elhanan took place late in David's
    reign.

      (2.) The son of Dodo, and one of David's warriors (2 Sam.
    23:24).
