Exegesis
The construct chain leharap̄a {לְהָרָפָ֖א | lə-hā-rā-p̄āʾ} ‘to the Rapha’ links descendants to a giant clan, while the prepositional phrase begat {בְּגַת | bə-gat} ‘in Gath’ locates them.
In context — 1 Chronicles 20:8
These descendants of the Rapha in Gath fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
