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.
E aconteceu à volta do ano, no tempo que costumam os reis sair à guerra, que Joabe tirou as forças do exército, e destruiu a terra dos filhos de Amom, e veio e cercou a Rabá. Mas Davi estava em Jerusalém; e Joabe atacou Rabá, 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 tomou Davi a coroa de seu rei de encima de sua cabeça, e achou-a de peso de um talento de ouro, e havia nela pedras preciosas; e foi posta sobre a cabeça de Davi. E ademais de isto tirou da cidade um muito 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.
Tirou também ao povo que estava nela, e cortou-os com serras, e com trilhos de ferro, e machados. O mesmo fez Davi a todas as cidades dos filhos de Amom. E voltou-se Davi com todo o povo a 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.
Depois de isto aconteceu que se levantou guerra em Gezer com os filisteus; e feriu Sibecai Husatita a Sipai, da linhagem dos gigantes; e foram humilhados.
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 voltou-se a levantar guerra com os filisteus; e feriu Elanã filho de Jair a Lami, irmão de Golias geteu, a haste de cuja lança era como um lançador de tecedores.
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 voltou a haver guerra em Gate, de onde havia um homem de grande estatura, o qual tinha seis dedos em pés e mãos, em todos vinte e quatro: e também era filho de Rafa.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Insultou ele a Israel, mas feriu-o Jônatas, filho de Simeia irmão de Davi.
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 foram filhos de Rafa em Gate, os quais caíram por mão de Davi e de seus servos.
