1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go forth, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and laid waste the land of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David abode at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
Næste Aar, ved den Tid Kongerne drager i Krig, førte Joab Krigshæren ud og hærgede Ammoniternes Land; derpaa drog han hen og belejrede Rabba. David blev derimod selv i Jerusalem. Og Joab indtog Rabba og ødelagde det.
2 And David took the crown of their king from off 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 forth the spoil of the city in great abundance.
Da tog David Kronen af Milkoms Hoved, og han fandt, at den var af Guld og vejede en Talent; der var en Ædelsten paa den, og den blev sat paa Davids Hoved. Et vældigt Bytte fra Byen førte han med sig,
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with the saw, and with harrows of iron, and with saws. And so David did to all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
og Indbyggerne slæbte han bort og satte dem til Savene, Jernhakkerne og Økserne. Saaledes gjorde han ved alle Ammoniternes Byer. Derpaa vendte David og hele Hæren tilbage til Jerusalem.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbechai the Hushathite smote Sippai, one of the children of Rapha; and they were subdued.
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 And there was again a battle with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair smote Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite; now the shaft of his spear was like a weaver's beam.
Atter kom det til Kamp med Filisterne. Elhanan, Ja'irs Søn, nedhuggede da Lami, Gatiten Goliats Broder, hvis Spydstage var som en Væverbom.
6 And there was again a battle, at Gath; and there was a man [there] of great stature, whose fingers [and toes] were four and twenty, six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]; and he also was born to Rapha.
Atter kom det til Kamp i Gat. Da var der en kæmpe stor Mand med seks Fingre paa hver Haand og seks Tæer paa hver Fod, i alt fire og tyve; han var ogsaa af Rafaslægten.
7 And he defied Israel; but Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother smote him.
Han haanede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
8 These were born to Rapha in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Disse var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Haand.
