Første Krønikebog 20
1 Næste År, ved den Tid Kongerne drager i Krig, førte Joab Krigshæren ud og hærgede Ammoniternes Land; derpå drog han hen og belejrede Rabba. David blev derimod selv i Jerusalem. Og Joab indtog Rabba og ødelagde det.
In spring, at the time of year when kings go out to make war, Joab led the Israelite army in attacks against the country of the Ammonites, also besieging Rabbah. However, David remained behind in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
2 Da tog David Kronen af Milkoms Hoved, og han fandt, at den var af Guld og vejede en Talent; der var en Ædelsten på den, og den blev sat på Davids Hoved. Et vældigt Bytte fra Byen førte han med sig,
David took the crown from the head of their idol Milcom. It was made of gold, and was set with gems. It weighed a talent and was placed on David's head. David also took a great deal of plunder from the city.
3 og Indbyggerne slæbte han bort og satte dem til Savene, Jernhakkerne og Økserne. Således gjorde han ved alle Ammonifemes Byer. Derpå vendte David og hele Hæren tilbage til Jerusalem.
David made the people there work with saws, iron picks, and axes. He also did the same to all the Ammonite towns. Then David and all his army returned to Jerusalem.
4 Siden hen kom det atter til Kamp med Filisterne i Gezer. Husjatiten Sibbekaj nedhuggede da Sippaj, som var af Rafaslægten, og de blev underkuet.

5 Atter kom det til Kamp med Filis, terne. Elhanan, Ja'irs Søn, nedhuggede da Lami, Gatiten Goliats Broder, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverbom.
In another battle with the Philistines, Elhanan, son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite. The shaft of his spear was as thick as a weaver's rod.
6 Atter kom det til Kamp i Gat. Da var der en kæmpe stor Mand med seks Fingre på hver Hånd og seks Tæer på hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve; han var også af Rafaslægten.
In yet another battle at Gath, there was a gigantic man, who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, making twenty-four all. He too was descended from the giants.
7 Han hånede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
8 Disse var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Hånd.
These were the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.
