1 Chronicles 20

1 At the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, Joab led out the army and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.

過了一年，到列王出戰的時候，約押率領軍兵毀壞亞捫人的地，圍攻拉巴；大衛仍住在耶路撒冷。約押攻打拉巴，將城傾覆。

2 David took the crown of their king from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. It was set on David’s head, and he brought very much plunder out of the city.

大衛奪了亞捫人之王所戴的金冠冕，其上的金子重一他連得，又嵌着寶石；人將這冠冕戴在大衛頭上。大衛從城裏奪了許多財物，

3 He brought out the people who were in it, and had them cut with saws, with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

將城裏的人拉出來，放在鋸下，或鐵耙下，或鐵斧下，大衛待亞捫各城的居民都是如此。其後大衛和眾軍都回耶路撒冷去了。

4 After this, war arose at Gezer with the Philistines. Then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, of the sons of the giant; and they were subdued.

後來，以色列人在基色與非利士人打仗。戶沙人西比該殺了偉人的一個兒子細派，非利士人就被制伏了。

5 Again there was war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

又與非利士人打仗。睚珥的兒子伊勒哈難殺了迦特人歌利亞的兄弟拉哈米；這人的槍桿粗如織布的機軸。

6 There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six on each hand and six on each foot; and he also was born to the giant.

又在迦特打仗。那裏有一個身量高大的人，手腳都是六指，共有二十四個指頭，他也是偉人的兒子。

7 When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

這人向以色列人罵陣，大衛的哥哥示米亞的兒子約拿單就殺了他。

8 These were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

這三個人是迦特偉人的兒子，都死在大衛和他僕人的手下。
