< 1 Chronicles 20 >
1 It came about in the springtime, at the time when kings normally go to war, that Joab led the army into battle and devastated the land of the Ammonites. He went and besieged Rabbah. David remained in Jerusalem. Joab attacked Rabbah and defeated it.
Slijedeće godine, u doba kad kraljevi izlaze u rat, izvede Joab vojsku i poče pustošiti zemlju amonsku. Došavši, opsjeo je Rabu; David bijaše ostao u Jeruzalemu. Joab je osvojio Rabu i razorio je.
2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and he found that it weighed a talent of gold, and in it were precious stones. The crown was set on David's head, and he brought out the plunder of the city in large quantities.
Tada je David uzeo njihovu kralju s glave krunu i vidio da je teška jedan zlatni talenat, a na njoj je bilo drago kamenje. Stavili su je na glavu Davidu, koji je iz grada odnio vrlo velik plijen.
3 He brought out the people who were in the city and forced them to work with saws and iron picks and axes. David required all the cities of the people of Ammon to do this labor. Then David and all the army returned to Jerusalem.
Narod koji bijaše u gradu izvede van i stavi ga da radi pilama, gvozdenim pijucima i sjekirama. Tako je David učinio svim gradovima Amonovih sinova. Potom se vratio sa svim narodom u Jeruzalem.
4 It came about after this that there was a battle at Gezer with the Philistines. Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the Rephaim, and the Philistines were subdued.
Poslije toga opet izbi rat s Filistejcima u Gezeru; tada je Hušanin Sibkaj pogubio Sipaja, koji je bio od Refaimovih potomaka; i bili su pokoreni.
5 It came about again in a battle with the Philistines at Gob, that Elhanan son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed Lahmi brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
Uz to je nastao i rat s Filistejcima, u kojem je Jairov sin Elhanan pogubio Lahmija, brata Golijata Gitejca, koji je imao kopljaču kao tkalačko vratilo.
6 It came about in another battle at Gath that there was a man of great height who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. He also was descended from the Rephaim.
Potom opet izbi rat u Gatu, gdje je bio neki čovjek visoka rasta: imaše taj na svakoj ruci i nozi po šest prstiju, dakle dvadeset i četiri; i on bijaše Rafin potomak.
7 When he mocked the army of Israel, Jehonadab son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
Kad je počeo ružiti Izraela, ubi ga Jonatan, sin Davidova brata Šimeja.
8 These were descendants of the Rephaim of Gath, and they were killed by the hand of David and by the hand of his soldiers.
To su bili Rafini potomci u Gatu koji su izginuli od Davidove ruke i od ruke njegovih slugu.
