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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 Og der han forhaanede Israel, da slog Jonathan, en Søn af Davids Broder Simea, ham ihjel.
And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shim'a the brother of David smote him.
8 Disse vare fødte for Rafa i Gat, og de faldt ved Davids Haand og ved hans Tjeneres Haand.
These were born unto the Rapha in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
