1 Chronicles 20

1 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.

[戰敗阿孟]一年復始，正當諸王出征的季節，約阿布統率精兵，蹂躪了阿孟子民的地方，然後去包圍了辣巴，當時達味留在那耶路撒冷。約阿布攻陷了辣巴，加以破壞。

2 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.

達味從米耳公的頭上，取下他的冠冕來，發現有一點「塔冷通」重的金子，上面還有一塊寶石。達味將這塊寶石戴在自己頭上；並由城中運走了大批的戰利品。

3 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.

至於城內的居民，達味將他們帶走，叫他們拉鋸、持鎚、操斧工作。達味如此對待了阿孟子民所有的城市，然後率領全軍回了耶路撒冷。[三敗培肋舍特]

4 Some time after this was broke out with the Philistines at Gezer. But then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, a descendant of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were forced to submit.

這些事以後，右與培肋舍特人在革則爾發生了戰事。胡沙人息貝開擊殺了辣法巨人的後裔息派，他們便投降歸順了。

5 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.

以後，又與培肋舍特交戰，雅依爾的兒子厄耳哈難擊殺了加特人哥肋雅的兄弟拉赫米。這人的長矛粗如織布機的橫軸。

6 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.

此後，在加特又起了戰事，在那裏有一巨人，兩手各有六指，兩足亦各有六趾，共有二十四個，也是辣法巨人的後裔。

7 But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.

由於他辱罵了以色列，達味的兄弟史默亞的兒子約納堂將他殺死：

8 These were the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.

這些人全是加特城辣法巨人的子孫，都喪身在達味和他的臣僕手裏。
