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.
factum est autem post anni circulum eo tempore quo solent reges ad bella procedere congregavit Ioab exercitum et robur militiae et vastavit terram filiorum Ammon perrexitque et obsedit Rabba porro David manebat in Hierusalem quando Ioab percussit Rabba et destruxit eam
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.
tulit autem David coronam Melchom de capite eius et invenit in ea auri pondo talentum et pretiosissimas gemmas fecitque sibi inde diadema manubias quoque urbis plurimas tulit
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.
populum autem qui erat in ea eduxit et fecit super eos tribulas et trahas et ferrata carpenta transire ita ut dissicarentur et contererentur sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Hierusalem
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.
post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversus Philistheos in quo percussit Sobbochai Usathites Saphai de genere Raphaim et humiliavit eos
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.
aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversum Philistheos in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus Lehemites fratrem Goliath Getthei cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium
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.
sed et aliud bellum accidit in Geth in quo fuit homo longissimus habens digitos senos id est simul viginti quattuor qui et ipse de Rapha fuerat stirpe generatus
7 But when he insulted Israel, Jonathan, son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
hic blasphemavit Israhel et percussit eum Ionathan filius Sammaa fratris David
8 These were the descendants of the giants in Gath, abut they were all killed by David and his men.
hii sunt filii Rapha in Geth qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius
