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.
Året etter ved det leitet kongarne plar fara i herferd, tok Joab ut med heren og herja landet åt Ammons-sønerne. Og han kom og kringsette Rabba, medan David vart verande i Jerusalem. Og Joab tok Rabba og øydela byen.
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.
Og David tok kruna av hovudet på kongen deira; og det vart røynt at ho vog vel tvo vågar gull, og ho var prydd med ein dyr stein. Ho vart no sett på hovudet åt David, og han førde nøgdi av herfang burt or byen.
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.
Og folket i byen førde han ut, og sette deim ved sagerne og treskjevalsarne av jarn og øksarne. Soleis for David åt med alle ammonitbyarne. So snudde David og alt folket heim att til Jerusalem.
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.
Sidan vart det ein strid med filistarane ved Gezer; då vann husatiten Sibbekai yver Sippai, ein av Rafa-ætlingarne; so vart dei kua.
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.
Sidan vart det ein ny strid med filistarane på nytt lag; Elhanan Ja’irsson hogg då ned Lahmi, bror åt Goliat frå Gat, som hadde eit spjotskaft som stor-riven på ein vev.
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.
So stod det ein strid ved Gat. Der var det ein risestor mann, som hadde seks fingrar og seks tær, fire og tjuge i alt; han og var ætta frå rafa’itarne.
7 And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
Han hædde Israel; men Jonatan, son åt Simea, som var bror åt David, drap honom.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.
Desse var ætta frå Rafa i Gat, og dei fall for David og tenarane hans.
