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, that after the year had ended, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, 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 their king from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David’s head: and he brought also a great quantity of spoil out of the city.
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 cut them with saws, and with instruments of iron, and with axes. Even so David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the 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 after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
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 Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear’s shaft 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 yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot: and he also was the son of the giant.
7 Og der han forhaanede Israel, da slog Jonathan, en Søn af Davids Broder Simea, ham ihjel.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
8 Disse vare fødte for Rafa i Gat, og de faldt ved Davids Haand og ved hans Tjeneres Haand.
These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
