1 Chronicles 20

1 And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew 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 And David took the crown of Malcam 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, exceeding much.

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 And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people 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 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giants; and they were subdued.

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 And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

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 And there was again war at Gath, where was a man 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 unto the giant.

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 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew 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 born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

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。
