< 1 Tawarikh 20 >

1 Pada pergantian tahun, pada waktu raja-raja biasanya maju berperang, maka Yoab membawa keluar bala tentaranya, lalu ia memusnahkan negeri bani Amon, kemudian ia maju dan mengepung kota Raba, sedang Daud sendiri tinggal di Yerusalem. Yoab memukul kalah Raba dan meruntuhkannya.
And it came to pass after the course of a year, at the time that kings go out to battle, Joab gathered together an army and the strength of the troops, and wasted the land of the children of Ammon: and went and besieged Rabba. But David stayed at Jerusalem, when Joab smote Rabba, and destroyed it.
2 Sesudah itu Daud mengambil mahkota dari kepala raja mereka, beratnya ternyata setalenta emas, bertatahkan sebuah batu permata yang mahal dan itu dikenakan pada kepala Daud. Juga diangkutnya banyak sekali jarahan dari kota itu.
And David took the crown of Melchom from his head, and found in it a talent weight of gold, and most precious stones, and he made himself a diadem of it: he took also the spoils of the city which were very great.
3 Penduduk kota itu diangkutnya dan dipaksanya bekerja dengan gergaji, penggerek besi dan kapak. Demikianlah juga diperlakukan Daud segala kota bani Amon. Sesudah itu pulanglah Daud dengan seluruh tentara ke Yerusalem.
And the people that were therein he brought out: and made harrows, and sleds, and chariots of iron to go over them, so that they were cut and bruised to pieces: in this manner David dealt with all the cities of the children of Ammon: and he returned with alibis people to Jerusalem.
4 Sesudah itu timbullah pertempuran melawan orang Filistin di Gezer; pada waktu itu Sibkhai, orang Husa, memukul kalah Sipai, seorang dari keturunan raksasa, dan mereka ditundukkan.
After this there arose a war at Gazer against the Philistines: in which Sabachai the Husathite slew Saphai of the race of Raphaim, and humbled them.
5 Maka terjadilah lagi pertempuran melawan orang Filistin, lalu Elhanan bin Yair menewaskan Lahmi, saudara Goliat, orang Gat itu, yang gagang tombaknya seperti pesa tukang tenun.
Another battle also was fought against the Philistines, in which Adeodatus the son of Saltus a Bethlehemite slew the brother of Goliath the Gethite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 Lalu terjadi lagi pertempuran di Gat; dan di sana ada seorang yang tinggi perawakannya, yang tangannya dan kakinya masing-masing berjari enam: dua puluh empat seluruhnya; juga orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa.
There was another battle also in Geth, in which there was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand and foot: who also was born of the stock of Rapha.
7 Ia mengolok-olok orang Israel, maka Yonatan, anak Simea kakak Daud, menewaskannya.
He reviled Israel: but Jonathan the son of Samaa the brother of David slew him.
8 Orang-orang ini termasuk keturunan raksasa di Gat; mereka tewas oleh tangan Daud dan oleh tangan orang-orangnya.
These were the sons of Rapha in Geth, who fell by the hand of David and his servants.
