1 Chronicles 20
1 And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed 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 Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
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 the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people 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 After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
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 Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose 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 There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of 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 He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
Han haanede Israel, og derfor huggede Jonatan, en Søn af Davids Broder Sjim'a, ham ned.
8 These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
Disse var af Rafaslægten i Gat; de faldt for Davids og hans Mænds Haand.
