< 1 Chronicles 20 >

1 In the spring, at the time when kings march out to war, Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the Ammonites. He came to Rabbah and besieged it, but David remained in Jerusalem. And Joab attacked Rabbah and demolished it.
過了一年,到列王出戰的時候,約押率領軍兵毀壞亞捫人的地,圍攻拉巴;大衛仍住在耶路撒冷。約押攻打拉巴,將城傾覆。
2 Then David took the crown from the head of their king. It was found to weigh a talent of gold and was set with precious stones, and it was placed on David’s head. And David took a great amount of plunder from the city.
大衛奪了亞捫人之王所戴的金冠冕,其上的金子重一他連得,又嵌着寶石;人將這冠冕戴在大衛頭上。大衛從城裏奪了許多財物,
3 David brought out the people who were there and put them to work with saws, iron picks, and axes. And he did the same to all the Ammonite cities. Then David and all his troops returned to Jerusalem.
將城裏的人拉出來,放在鋸下,或鐵耙下,或鐵斧下,大衛待亞捫各城的居民都是如此。其後大衛和眾軍都回耶路撒冷去了。
4 Some time later, war broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. At that time Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
後來,以色列人在基色與非利士人打仗。戶沙人西比該殺了偉人的一個兒子細派,非利士人就被制伏了。
5 Once again there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
又與非利士人打仗。睚珥的兒子伊勒哈難殺了迦特人歌利亞的兄弟拉哈米;這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。
6 And there was still another battle at Gath, where there was a man of great stature with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He too was descended from Rapha,
又在迦特打仗。那裏有一個身量高大的人,手腳都是六指,共有二十四個指頭,他也是偉人的兒子。
7 and when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of David’s brother Shimei killed him.
這人向以色列人罵陣,大衛的哥哥示米亞的兒子約拿單就殺了他。
8 So these descendants of Rapha in Gath fell at the hands of David and his servants.
這三個人是迦特偉人的兒子,都死在大衛和他僕人的手下。
