1 Chronicles 20
1 [In that region], kings usually went [with their armies] to fight [their enemies] (in the springtime/when the cold season ended). But that year, David [did not do that. Instead, he] stayed in Jerusalem, and he sent [his commander] Joab [to lead the army]. Joab took his troops. They [crossed the Jordan River and] ruined the land of the Ammon people-group. Then they went to Rabbah, [the capital city, ] and surrounded it. David stayed in Jerusalem [for a while. But later he took more troops and went to help] Joab. Their armies attacked Rabbah and destroyed it.
Aconteceu pois que, no decurso de um ano, no tempo em que os reis costumam sair para a guerra, Joab levou o exército, e destruiu a terra dos filhos de Ammon, e veio, e cercou a Rabba, porém David ficou em Jerusalém: e Joab feriu a Rabba, e a destruiu.
2 Then David took the crown from the head of the king of Rabbah (OR, from the head of their god Milcom) and put it on his own head. It [was very heavy; it] weighed (75 pounds/34 kg.), and it had many very valuable stones [fastened to it]. They also took many other valuable things from the city.
E David tirou da cabeça do rei a coroa deste, e achou nela o peso dum talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de David: e levou da cidade mui grande despojo.
3 Then they brought the people out of the city and forced them to [work for their army, ] using saws and iron picks and axes. David’s soldiers did this in all the cities of the Ammon people-group. Then David and all of his army returned to Jerusalem.
Também o povo que estava nela levou, e os fez serrar com a serra, e cortar com talhadeiras de ferro e com machados; e assim fez David com todas as cidades dos filhos de Ammon: então voltou David, com todo o povo, para Jerusalém.
4 Later, [David’s army] fought a battle with the army of Philistia, at Gezer [city]. During the battle Sibbecai, from Hushah [clan], killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rapha [giants]. So the armies of Philistia were defeated.
E depois disto aconteceu que, levantando-se guerra em Gazer, com os philisteus, então Sibbechai, o husathita, feriu a Sippai, dos filhos de Rapha: e ficaram abatidos.
5 In another battle against the soldiers of Philistia, Elhanan, the son of Jair, killed Lahmi, the [younger] brother of [the giant] Goliath from Gath [town], who had a spear which was as thick as a weaver’s rod.
E tornou a haver guerra com os philisteus: e Elhanan, filho de Jair, feriu a Lahmi, irmão de Goliath, o getheu, cuja haste da lança era como órgão de tecelão.
6 There was another battle near Gath. A (huge man/giant) was there who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He was descended from [the] Rapha [giants].
E tornou a haver guerra em Gath: e havia ali um homem de grande estatura, e tinha vinte e quatro dedos, seis em cada mão, e seis em cada pé, e também era da raça de Rapha.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
E injuriou a Israel: porém Jonathan, filho de Simea, irmão de David, o feriu.
8 Those were some of the descendants of [the] Rapha [giants] who had lived in Gath, who were killed [MTY] by David and his soldiers.
Estes nasceram a Rapha em Gath: e cairam pela mão de David e pela mão dos seus servos.
