< 历代志上 20 >
1 过了一年,到列王出战的时候,约押率领军兵毁坏亚扪人的地,围攻拉巴;大卫仍住在耶路撒冷。约押攻打拉巴,将城倾覆。
And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed it.
2 大卫夺了亚扪人之王所戴的金冠冕,其上的金子重一他连得,又嵌着宝石;人将这冠冕戴在大卫头上。大卫从城里夺了许多财物,
And David took the crown of Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
3 将城里的人拉出来,放在锯下,或铁耙下,或铁斧下,大卫待亚扪各城的居民都是如此。其后大卫和众军都回耶路撒冷去了。
And he brought out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his people returned to Jerusalem.
4 后来,以色列人在基色与非利士人打仗。户沙人西比该杀了伟人的一个儿子细派,非利士人就被制伏了。
And it came to pass afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
5 又与非利士人打仗。睚珥的儿子伊勒哈难杀了迦特人歌利亚的兄弟拉哈米;这人的枪杆粗如织布的机轴。
And there [was] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' beam.
6 又在迦特打仗。那里有一个身量高大的人,手脚都是六指,共有二十四个指头,他也是伟人的儿子。
And there was again war in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
7 这人向以色列人骂阵,大卫的哥哥示米亚的儿子约拿单就杀了他。
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
8 这三个人是迦特伟人的儿子,都死在大卫和他仆人的手下。
These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
