< 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.
Pada pergantian tahun, pada waktu raja-raja biasanya maju berperang, maka Yoab membawa keluar bala tentaranya, lalu ia memusnahkan negeri bani Amon, kemudian ia maju dan mengepung kota Raba, sedang Daud sendiri tinggal di Yerusalem. Yoab memukul kalah Raba dan meruntuhkannya.
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.
Sesudah itu Daud mengambil mahkota dari kepala raja mereka, beratnya ternyata setalenta emas, bertatahkan sebuah batu permata yang mahal dan itu dikenakan pada kepala Daud. Juga diangkutnya banyak sekali jarahan dari kota itu.
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.
Penduduk kota itu diangkutnya dan dipaksanya bekerja dengan gergaji, penggerek besi dan kapak. Demikianlah juga diperlakukan Daud segala kota bani Amon. Sesudah itu pulanglah Daud dengan seluruh tentara ke Yerusalem.
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.
Sesudah itu timbullah pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gezer; pada waktu itu Sibkhai, orang Husa, memukul kalah Sipai, seorang dari keturunan raksasa, dan mereka ditundukkan.
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.
Maka terjadilah lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin, lalu Elhanan bin Yair menewaskan Lahmi, saudara Goliat, orang Gat itu, yang gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun.
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.
Lalu terjadi lagi pertempuran di Gat; dan di sana ada seorang yang tinggi perawakannya, yang tangannya dan kakinya masing-masing berjari enam: dua puluh empat seluruhnya; juga orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa.
7 When he mocked the army of Israel, Jehonadab son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.
Ia mengolok-olok orang Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simea kakak Daud, menewaskannya.
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.
Orang-orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa di Gat; mereka tewas oleh tangan Daud dan oleh tangan orang-orangnya.
