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.
Через год, в то время когда цари выходят на войну, вывел Иоав войско и стал разорять землю Аммонитян, и пришел и осадил Равву. Давид же оставался в Иерусалиме. Иоав, завоевав Равву, разрушил ее.
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.
И взял Давид венец царя их с головы его, и в нем оказалось весу талант золота, и драгоценные камни были на нем; и был он возложен на голову Давида. И добычи очень много вынес из города.
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.
А народ, который был в нем, вывел и умерщвлял их пилами, железными молотилами и секирами. Так поступил Давид со всеми городами Аммонитян, и возвратился Давид и весь народ в Иерусалим.
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.
После того началась война с Филистимлянами в Газере. Тогда Совохай Хушатянин поразил Сафа, одного из потомков Рефаимов. И они усмирились.
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.
И опять была война с Филистимлянами. Тогда Елханам, сын Иаира, поразил Лахмия, брата Голиафова, Гефянина, у которого древко копья было, как навой у ткачей.
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].
Было еще сражение в Гефе. Там был один рослый человек, у которого было по шести пальцев, всего двадцать четыре. И он также был из потомков Рефаимов.
7 When he made fun of the soldiers of Israel, Jonathan, the son of David’s [older] brother Shimea, killed him.
Он поносил Израиля, но Ионафан, сын Шимы, брата Давидова, поразил его.
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.
Это были родившиеся от Рефаимов в Гефе, и пали от руки Давида и от руки слуг его.
