I’ve added an archive page devoted to the nephilim discussion to try and arrange those items. It includes comment material.

This seems as good a place as any for this question.
If you don’t mind getting into it, what is going on with 2 Sam 21:19 & 1 Chron 20:5?
My NIV notes that “the brother of” is not present in 2 Samuel. The explanation I have seen is that the 2 Sam 21:19 copyist made a mistake or two. Do you think so? What type of mistakes?

Let me know if that covers it for you.
Perfect! Thank you. That was incredibly helpful.
Would you consider adding your understanding of Nephilim to the wikipedia article on Nephilim?

I wouldn’t consider doing anything on Wikipedia. All I needed to know to distrust Wikipedia is the fact that they wouldn’t allow me to make corrections on the entry for me that someone else had created. (I got a nasty email from one of their zealots about bias – I’m sorry, but I really am an authority on ME). That was years ago, and taught me a good lesson about (any) contributor websites.
