I Paralipomenon 20
1 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
And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out [to battle], that 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 smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.
2 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
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 forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.
3 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
And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut [them] with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.
4 post haec initum est bellum in Gazer adversus Philistheos in quo percussit Sobbochai Usathites Saphai de genere Raphaim et humiliavit eos
And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines: then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giant: and they were subdued.
5 aliud quoque bellum gestum est adversum Philistheos in quo percussit Adeodatus filius Saltus Lehemites fratrem Goliath Getthei cuius hastae lignum erat quasi liciatorium texentium
And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.
6 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
And there was again 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 born unto the giant.
7 hic blasphemavit Israhel et percussit eum Ionathan filius Sammaa fratris David
And when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David’s brother slew him.
8 hii sunt filii Rapha in Geth qui ceciderunt in manu David et servorum eius
These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.
