< 1 Chronicles 20 >

1 Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.
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 And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.
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 And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back 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 Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.
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 And again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan, the son of Jair, put to death Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the stem of whose spear was like a cloth-worker's rod.
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 again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.
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 put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.
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 These were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; they came to their death by 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。
