< 1 Chronicles 20 >
1 And it cometh to pass, at the time of the turn of the year — at the time of the going out of the messengers — that Joab leadeth out the force of the host, and destroyeth the land of the sons of Ammon, and cometh in and beseigeth Rabbah — David is abiding in Jerusalem — and Joab smiteth Rabbah, and breaketh it down.
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 And David taketh the crown of their king from off his head, and findeth it [in] weight a talent of gold, and in it a precious stone, and it is on the head of David: and spoil of the city he hath brought out very much,
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 and the people who [are] in it he hath brought out, and setteth to the saw, and to cutting instruments of iron, and to axes; and thus doth David to all cities of the sons of Ammon, and David turneth back, and all the people, 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 And it cometh to pass, after this, that there remaineth war in Gezer with the Philistines, then hath Sibbechai the Hushathite smitten Sippai, of the children of the giant, and they are humbled.
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 And there is again war with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Jair smiteth Lahmi, brother of Goliath the Gittite, the wood of whose spear [is] like a beam of weavers.
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 And there is again war in Gath, and there is a man of measure, and his fingers and his toes [are] six and six, twenty and four, and also, he hath been 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 And he reproacheth Israel, and smite him doth Jonathan son of Shimea, brother of David.
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 fall 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。
