< 1 Tawarikh 20 >
1 Musim semi berikutnya, pada waktu raja-raja biasanya pergi berperang, Yoab mengerahkan tentaranya dan merebut negeri Amon. Pada waktu itu Raja Daud tetap di Yerusalem, dan tidak ikut. Yoab dan tentaranya mengepung kota Raba, lalu menyerang dan memusnahkan kota itu.
And it came to pass, that after the year was expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab stroke Rabbah, and destroyed it.
2 Setelah itu Daud datang dan mengambil banyak sekali barang rampasan dari kota itu. Di antara barang-barang itu ada mahkota raja Amon. Mahkota itu beratnya kira-kira 34 kilogram dan bertatahkan sebuah permata. Daud mengambil permata itu dan memasangnya pada mahkotanya sendiri.
And 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 upon David's head: and he brought also exceeding much spoil out of the city.
3 Kemudian Daud mengangkut penduduk kota Raba itu dan memaksa mereka bekerja dengan memakai gergaji, cangkul dan kapak. Hal itu dilakukannya juga terhadap kota-kota Amon yang lain. Sesudah itu Daud dan seluruh tentaranya kembali ke Yerusalem.
And he brought out the people that were in it, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. Even so dealt David with all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 Beberapa waktu sesudah itu pecah lagi perang melawan orang Filistin di Gezer. Dalam salah satu pertempuran itu Sibkhai orang Husa membunuh seorang raksasa bernama Sipai. Maka orang Filistin pun kalah.
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, that was of the children of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 Dalam pertempuran lain melawan orang Filistin, Elhanan anak Yair membunuh Lahmi saudara Goliat orang Gat. Gagang tombak Lahmi itu sebesar kayu alat tenun.
And there was war again with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, whose spear staff was like a weaver's beam.
6 Dalam pertempuran yang lain lagi di Gat ada seorang raksasa yang mempunyai enam jari pada setiap tangan dan setiap kakinya. Ia keturunan raksasa zaman dahulu.
And yet again there was war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot and he also was the son of the giant.
7 Ia mengejek orang Israel, dan karena itu ia dibunuh oleh Yonatan, anak Simea abang Daud.
But when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.
8 Ketiga orang yang dibunuh oleh Daud dan pasukannya itu adalah keturunan raksasa di Gat.
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
