Chronicles I 20
1 And it came to pass at the return of the year, at the [time of the] going forth of kings [to war], that Joab gathered the whole force of the army, and they ravaged the land of the children of Ammon; and he came and besieged Rabba. But David abode in Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabba and destroyed 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 Molchom their king off his head, and the weight of it was found [to be] a talent of gold, and on it were precious stones; and it was [placed] on the head of David: and he brought out the spoils of the city [which were] very great.
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 out the people that were in it, and sawed them asunder with saws, and [cut them] with iron axes, and with harrows: and thus David did to all the children of Ammon. And David and all his 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 afterward that there was again war with the Philistines in Gazer: then Sobochai the Sosathite struck Saphut of the sons of the giants, and laid him low.
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] war again with the Philistines; and Eleanan the son of Jair struck Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, and the wood of his spear [was] as a weavers' 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 in Geth, and there was a man of extraordinary size, and his fingers [and toes were] six on each hand and foot, four and twenty; and he was descended from the giants.
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 he defied Israel, and Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David killed him.
Han hædde Israel; men Jonatan, son åt Simea, som var bror åt David, drap honom.
8 These were born to Rapha in Geth; all four were giants, 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.
