1 Forsothe it was doon after the ende of a yeer, in that tyme wherinne kyngis ben wont to go forth to batels, Joab gederide the oost, and the strengthe of chyualrie, and he wastide the lond of the sones of Amon, and yede, and bisegide Rabath; forsothe Dauid dwellide in Jerusalem, whanne Joab smoot Rabath, and distriede it.
factum est autem post anni circulum eo tempore quo solent reges ad bella procedere congregavit Ioab exercitum et robur militiae et vastavit terram filiorum Ammon perrexitque et obsedit Rabba porro David manebat in Hierusalem quando Ioab percussit Rabba et destruxit eam
2 Forsothe Dauid took the coroun of Melchon fro his heed, and foond therynne the weiyt of gold a talent, and moost precious iemmes, and he made therof a diademe to hym silf; also he took ful many spuylis of the citee.
tulit autem David coronam Melchom de capite eius et invenit in ea auri pondo talentum et pretiosissimas gemmas fecitque sibi inde diadema manubias quoque urbis plurimas tulit
3 Sotheli he ledde out the puple that was therynne, and made breris, `ethir instrumentis bi whiche cornes ben brokun, and sleddis, and irone charis, to passe on hem, so that alle men weren kit in to dyuerse partis, and weren al to-brokun; Dauid dide thus to alle the `cytees of the sones of Amon, and turnede ayen with al his puple in to Jerusalem.
populum autem qui erat in ea eduxit et fecit super eos tribulas et trahas et ferrata carpenta transire ita ut dissicarentur et contererentur sic fecit David cunctis urbibus filiorum Ammon et reversus est cum omni populo suo in Hierusalem
4 Aftir these thingis a batel was maad in Gazer ayens Filisteis, wherynne Sobochai Vsachites slow Saphai of the kyn of Raphym, and mekide hem.
post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversus Philistheos in quo percussit Sobbochai Usathites Saphai de genere Raphaim et humiliavit eos
5 Also another batel was don ayens Filisteis, in which a man youun of God, the sone of forest, a man of Bethleem, killide Goliath of Geth, the brother of giauntis, of whos schaft the tre was as the beem of webbis.
aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversum Philistheos in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus Lehemites fratrem Goliath Getthei cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium
6 But also another batel bifelde in Geth, in which a ful long man was, hauynge sixe fyngris, that is, togidere foure and twenti, and he was gendrid of the generacioun of Raphaym;
sed et aliud bellum accidit in Geth in quo fuit homo longissimus habens digitos senos id est simul viginti quattuor qui et ipse de Rapha fuerat stirpe generatus
7 he blasfemyde Israel, and Jonathan, the sone of Samaa, brother of Dauid, killide hym.
hic blasphemavit Israhel et percussit eum Ionathan filius Sammaa fratris David
8 These ben the sones of Raphaym in Geth, that felden doun in the hond of Dauid and of hise seruauntis.
hii sunt filii Rapha in Geth qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius
