It happened, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out, that Joab led forth the army, and wasted the country of the people of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. Joab struck Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 David ɖe fiakuku le woƒe fia, Milkom ƒe ta eye wotsɔe ɖɔ na Fia David. Fiakuku la ƒe kpekpeme anɔ sika kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye wotsɔ kpe xɔasiwo ɖo atsyɔ nɛ. Woha afunyinu geɖe le du la me.
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; and it was set on David's head: and he brought forth the spoil of the city, a very great amount.
3 Ekplɔ dua me nɔlawo dzoe eye wode dɔ sesẽwo wɔwɔ asi na wo be woawɔ laxalaxadɔwo, fiwo kple fiadɔwo. David wɔ alea le Amonitɔwo ƒe duwo katã me. Emegbe David kple eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la gbugbɔ yi Yerusalem.
He brought forth the people who were in it, and set them to work with saws, and with iron picks, and with axes. David did so to all the cities of the people of Ammon. David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Egawɔ aʋa kple Filistitɔwo le Gezer, ke Sibekai, ŋutsu aɖe tso Husat, wu Sipai, si nye Refaim ƒe dzidzimeviwo dometɔ ɖeka ale Filistitɔwo na ta.
Now it happened afterward that there was again war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, a descendant of the Rephaim; and they were subdued.
5 Le aʋa bubu si wogawɔ kple Filistitɔwo me la, Elhanan, Yair ƒe vi, wu Lahmi, Goliat nɔvi, ame si ƒe akplɔti lolo abe ati si le avɔlɔ̃lawo ƒe agbati me ene.
There was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair the Bethlehemite killed the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.
6 Le aʋa bubu si wowɔ le Gat me la, ame dzɔtsu aɖe to asibidɛ ade ɖe asi ɖe sia ɖe kple afɔbidɛ ade ɖe afɔ ɖe sia ɖe, asibidɛawo kple afɔbidɛawo de blaeve-vɔ-ene. Eya hã nye Rafa ƒe dzidzimevi.
There was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were twenty-four, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was descended from the Raphah.
7 Esi wòɖu fewu le Israel ŋu la, David nɔviŋutsu, Simea ƒe vi, Yonatan wui.
When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimeah David's brother killed him.
8 Ame siawo nye Rafa ƒe dzidzime viwo tso Gat eye wotsi David kple eƒe amewo ƒe asi me.
These were the descendants of the Raphah in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
