And it came[H935] to pass, that after[H6256] the year[H8141] was expired[H8666], at the time[H6256] that kings[H4428] go out[H3318] to battle, Joab[H3097] led forth[H5090] the power[H2428] of the army[H6635], and wasted[H7843] the country[H776] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983], and came[H935] and besieged[H6696]Rabbah[H7237]. But David[H1732]tarried[H3427] at Jerusalem[H3389]. And Joab[H3097]smote[H5221]Rabbah[H7237], and destroyed[H2040] it.
2
And David[H1732]took[H3947] the crown[H5850] of their king[H4428] from off his head[H7218], and found[H4672] it to weigh[H4948] a talent[H3603] of gold[H2091], and there were precious[H3368]stones[H68] in it; and it was set upon David[H1732]'s head[H7218]: and he brought[H3318] also exceeding[H3966]much[H7235]spoil[H7998] out of the city[H5892].
3
And he brought out[H3318] the people[H5971] that were in it, and cut[H7787] them with saws[H4050], and with harrows[H2757] of iron[H1270], and with axes[H4050]. Even so dealt[H6213]David[H1732] with all the cities[H5892] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983]. And David[H1732] and all the people[H5971]returned[H7725] to Jerusalem[H3389].
4
And it came to pass after this[H310], that there arose[H5975]war[H4421] at Gezer[H1507] with the Philistines[H6430]; at which time[H227]Sibbechai[H5444] the Hushathite[H2843]slew[H5221]Sippai[H5598], that was of the children[H3211] of the giant[H7497]: and they were subdued[H3665].
5
And there was war[H4421] again with the Philistines[H6430]; and Elhanan[H445] the son[H1121] of Jair[H3265]slew[H5221]Lahmi[H3902] the brother[H251] of Goliath[H1555] the Gittite[H1663], whose spear[H2595]staff[H6086] was like a weaver's beam[H4500].
6
And yet again there was war[H4421] at Gath[H1661], where was a man[H376] of great stature[H4060], whose fingers[H676] and toes[H676] were four[H702] and twenty[H6242], six[H8337] on each hand, and six[H8337] on each foot: and he also was the son[H3205] of the giant[H7497].
7
But when he defied[H2778]Israel[H3478], Jonathan[H3083] the son[H1121] of Shimea[H8092] David's brother[H251]slew[H5221] him.
8These[H411] were born[H3205] unto the giant[H7497] in Gath[H1661]; and they fell[H5307] by the hand[H3027] of David[H1732], and by the hand[H3027] of his servants[H5650].
