1 Chronicles 20
1 AND it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, 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 destroyed it.
Pada pergantian tahun, pada waktu raja-raja biasanya maju berperang, maka Yoab membawa keluar bala tentaranya, lalu ia memusnahkan negeri bani Amon, kemudian ia maju dan mengepung kota Raba, sedang Daud sendiri tinggal di Yerusalem. Yoab memukul kalah Raba dan meruntuhkannya.
2 And David took the crown of their king 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 also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
Sesudah itu Daud mengambil mahkota dari kepala raja mereka, beratnya ternyata setalenta emas, bertatahkan sebuah batu permata yang mahal dan itu dikenakan pada kepala Daud. Juga diangkutnya banyak sekali jarahan dari kota itu.
3 And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
Penduduk kota itu diangkutnya dan dipaksanya bekerja dengan gergaji, penggerek besi dan kapak. Demikianlah juga diperlakukan Daud segala kota bani Amon. Sesudah itu pulanglah Daud dengan seluruh tentara ke Yerusalem.
4 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
Sesudah itu timbullah pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gezer; pada waktu itu Sibkhai, orang Husa, memukul kalah Sipai, seorang dari keturunan raksasa, dan mereka ditundukkan.
5 And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver’s beam.
Maka terjadilah lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin, lalu Elhanan bin Yair menewaskan Lahmi, saudara Goliat, orang Gat itu, yang gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun.
6 And yet again there was 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 the son of the giant.
Lalu terjadi lagi pertempuran di Gat; dan di sana ada seorang yang tinggi perawakannya, yang tangannya dan kakinya masing-masing berjari enam: dua puluh empat seluruhnya; juga orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa.
7 But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
Ia mengolok-olok orang Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simea kakak Daud, menewaskannya.
8 These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
Orang-orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa di Gat; mereka tewas oleh tangan Daud dan oleh tangan orang-orangnya.
