Første Krønikebog 20
1 Og det skete paa den Tid, der Aaret var omme, paa den Tid Kongerne pleje at uddrage til Krig, da førte Joab Stridshæren ud og ødelagde Ammons Børns Land, og han kom og belejrede Rabba, men David blev i Jerusalem; og Joab slog Rabba og nedbrød den.
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 Og David tog deres Konges Krone fra hans Hoved og fandt, at dens Vægt var et Centner Guld, og der var kostbare Stene i den, og den kom over Davids Hoved; og han bortførte af Staden saare meget Bytte.
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 Men Folket, som var derudi, førte han ud, og han skar dem over med Save og med Jerntærskeslæder og med Knive, og saaledes gjorde David ved alle Ammons Børns Stæder; siden vendte David og alt Folket tilbage til Jerusalem.
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 Og det skete derefter, at der stod et Slag i Geser med Filisterne; da slog Husathiten, Sibekaj, Sifaj af Rafas Børn, og de bleve ydmygede.
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 Og der var endnu en Krig med Filisterne; og Elhanan, Jairs Søn, slog Lahemi, Goliaths, Githitens, Broder, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverstang.
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 Og der var endnu Krig i Gat, og der var en høj Mand, og han havde seks Fingre paa hver Haand og seks Tæer paa hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve, og han var ogsaa født for Rafa.
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 Og der han forhaanede Israel, da slog Jonathan, en Søn af Davids Broder Simea, ham ihjel.
And he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
8 Disse vare fødte for Rafa i Gat, og de faldt ved Davids Haand og ved hans Tjeneres Haand.
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.
