< 歷代志上 20 >
1 [戰敗阿孟]一年復始,正當諸王出征的季節,約阿布統率精兵,蹂躪了阿孟子民的地方,然後去包圍了辣巴,當時達味留在那耶路撒冷。約阿布攻陷了辣巴,加以破壞。
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the same season of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led out the power of the army, and destroyed the country of the children of 'Ammon, and he came and besieged Rabbah. But David remained behind at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and pulled it down.
2 達味從米耳公的頭上,取下他的冠冕來,發現有一點「塔冷通」重的金子,上面還有一塊寶石。達味將這塊寶石戴在自己頭上;並由城中運走了大批的戰利品。
And David took the crown of Malkam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and thereon a precious stone; and it was set on the head of David: and the booty of the city he brought out in great abundance.
3 至於城內的居民,達味將他們帶走,叫他們拉鋸、持鎚、操斧工作。達味如此對待了阿孟子民所有的城市,然後率領全軍回了耶路撒冷。[三敗培肋舍特]
And the people that were therein he brought forward, and cut them with saws, and with iron threshing-wagons, and with axes; and thus did David unto all the cities of the children of 'Ammon; and David returned then with all the people unto Jerusalem.
4 這些事以後,右與培肋舍特人在革則爾發生了戰事。胡沙人息貝開擊殺了辣法巨人的後裔息派,他們便投降歸順了。
And it came to pass after this, that there arose a battle at Gezer with the Philistines: then smote Sibbechai the Chushathite Sippai, one of the children of the Rapha; and they were humbled.
5 以後,又與培肋舍特交戰,雅依爾的兒子厄耳哈難擊殺了加特人哥肋雅的兄弟拉赫米。這人的長矛粗如織布機的橫軸。
And there was again a battle with the Philistines, when Elchanan the son of Yair smote Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 此後,在加特又起了戰事,在那裏有一巨人,兩手各有六指,兩足亦各有六趾,共有二十四個,也是辣法巨人的後裔。
And there was again a battle at Gath, where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes were six on each [hand and foot], four and twenty [in all]; and he also was born to the Rapha.
7 由於他辱罵了以色列,達味的兄弟史默亞的兒子約納堂將他殺死:
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
8 這些人全是加特城辣法巨人的子孫,都喪身在達味和他的臣僕手裏。
These were born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
